Are there any books written in the last few years destined to be classics in the future? I'm so tired of reading books written on the general 8th grade level. Where is the new Austin, Tolstoy, Tolkien, Alcott, Eliot, Wharton, Steinbeck......... I don't expect another Shakespeare, never cared for his works. LOL I do read books for fun and a fast read like Harry Potter, now those are fun reads. I have read all the 100 classics on all the lists so finding more is hard. So far none have come close.
