So that's two votes, at least.<br /><br />I basically never use the word "classic," but I think this is the way to do it - our guess about which books will last, which may not be quite the same thing as which books are best. Bad books never last, but neither to most good books.<br /><br />I'd add Ian McEwan's <i>Atonement</i> to that excellent list, perhaps just for the dazzling Dunkirk chapter.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-12308111548426764362010-11-25T23:23:27.294+08:002010-11-25T23:23:27.294+08:00I haven't read any of the books on your list. ...I haven't read any of the books on your list.
