Classic Reads?

[jazzy_dave]

The idea of a classic novel is one  that not just stands the test of time, but  in my mind at least, a book that can be life-changing The publishing companies want to have a canon but to me a classic is any book that you yourself can find something from, and hence it leads nicely to this Guardian article in which even the author of the article admits that the word (classic) becomes meaningless.

I have emerged from under the rock, thanks to all who have helped me back. Plus listening to a very funny episode of The Unbelievable Truth on BBC Radio 4 helped.
