'classic' is not a style, therefore you should not have particular trouble to read a classic book just because it's a classic.

nostromo was a cool character. the book was good too but it was too verbose compared to the few other conrad works i've read.

I kept picturing the ultimate adaptation which would feature Daniel Day-Lewis (he can speak Italian as well) playing Nostromo ... god-tier film.
