I had the same problem... I fundamentally disagreed with the notion 
that just because something was old and a 'classic', it was 
automatically good and worth reading.

Eventually I gave up on English Lit. to concentrate on the other 
subjects. Last year, I completed a 50,000 word User Guide for some 
software. Similar to Keith, technical books, magazines and other 
'literature' have helped me with this and a number of magazine 
articles I've had published.
