Maybe something by Julia Alvarez. I love In the Time of the Butterflies and How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents.
The Harry Potter Series will probably be considered a classic as well.

I actually just read Mort by Terry Pratchett, and I completely agree. I loved his writing style, and each of his characters had an exceptionally strong voice.

I’ve never read this book but I have heard of it a little bit. I’ll have to check it outsarah[1904] wrote: ↑10 May 2018, 16:09 I often wonder if authors of the books we consider classics ever would have thought their words would live for so many years and have millions of eyes grace their pages. I believe A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini will become a classic. The subject matter of the novel, and the characters it centers on, are so important to today's times that the events will be talked about for years.

Yes I agree. It’s the books that have characters that feel like real people. I believe Pride and Prejudice is one of those for me. I think Francine Rivers is a modern day author that does this very thing so well.Crazyreader01 wrote: ↑17 Mar 2019, 13:55 I think that the books that are now considered to be classics aren't classics because of their popularity or reader responses. I think they became classics because they were different. Maybe not necessarily plotwise, but characterwise definitely. Take the Bronte sisters, for example, sure the plots of their books are pretty amazing, but it's how real the characters are that has made their novels withstand the test of time. They aren't shallow, two-dimensional characters that look like the author's puppets. No, they feel like real people who you would expect to meet someday. That is what I believe makes a classic.

This is a wonderfully told story of choices, guilt and regret, maybe one day it will be a classic!somsnam_16 wrote: ↑15 May 2018, 04:51 I wonder how often we think about classic books today. It was masterpiece that no one can ever reproduce.And i believe that The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini or The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri might be one of the classics in near future.
