I remember in high school reading a Tale of Two cities. Absolutely disliked how all the language is over dramatic and flowery. Try reading some scientific papers from the same era. Many of them are similar in how they were written. Then sometime after I read something by Mark Twain for the first time. I was blown away at how much easier and more enjoyable his writing style was.
