I know predicting the future is always a challenge and full of uncertainties, but I'm still curious to see if you have any predictions of any modern books that might one day be regarded as a classic.
I personally haven't read any that falls under this category. When I think of classics like To Kill A Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm, or even childrens classics like The Velveteen Rabbit, it's difficult for me to see exactly what actually made them classics. But maybe you're better at this than I am. And I would love to hear your guesses on which you think will be a classic one day.
If I had to choose one, I'd hesitantly say The Hunger Games, as it's easy to read but also has a lot to say about challenging a Communist regime. It was assigned in high school back in 2010. So at least one English teacher saw some literary value in it.
Underground Railroad no doubt. I suspect My Year of Rest and Relaxation may also achieve “classic status” but that one’s a bit more up in the air
Have you read " Hidden in Plain sight" ? .. I have been looking for these books for a while and I heard hidden in plain sight was good. ( I'm.super into quilts, sewing.. so it's up my alley)
