Should I study History, Classics, or English?

are you more into historical events or more into language and literature?

if those three are among your choices maybe you should also consider looking into historical linguistics/Indo-European studies. It includes all three in a way - English as a part of Germanic studies, Classics in the form of Latin and Greek and History in the form texts from all sorts of historical cultures including ancient India, the Tocharians, Persia, the Slavs, the Celts and of course the classical world and the Germanic peoples. It's also the field that Tolkien was in, so if you like the LOTR lore, it's definitely something for you.

I enjoy reading books on European History of the 19th and 20th Centuries, but I also enjoyed reading the philosophic writings of Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the poetry of said eras. As far as more recent literature goes, my interests include Joyce, Nabokov, Lewis Carroll, Dante, Baudelaire, & Proust, to name some favourites.

I read LOTR as a teen, but I haven't any particular attachment to it.

sounds like you're more into literature than history or linguistics then.

maybe english is the best way to go for you

though i imagine studying literature academically to be very frustrating because you'll invariably have to deal with obtuse french theorists that are both extremely moralizing and political but at the same time without any substance or insight.
