I don't really feel that way either... Although... Recently, I only read "Dead Souls," and I didn't even finish it. As they say, I couldn't get through it. Yes, maybe I'm not well-educated, but I'm not drawn to classics; there are maybe 2-3 works from the 19th century that I would actually enjoy.
When I was little, I read "Viy." By the way, I liked it back then. However, I can't say for sure now whether it was some kind of children's abridged and simplified version, or the original work. Although, I think "Viy" isn't very long even in its original form.

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
