I mean, you apparently don't read the books yourself. I can see you're trying to be a flamer here, but not doing a very good gob of it when handed straight material to work with so I'll make it easy for you :   Classics are generally held by society as a collective to be thought of and categorized as such.   Little Women Black Beauty   Island of the Blue Dolphins etc. are what I'm referring to.   Perhaps your idea of a classic is an old Penthouse Forum you got your fantasy letter printed in?
