It doesn't surprise me that TKaM is a popular choice because first off, I think so many of us were forced to read it in school, but secondly because I've known people who rarely read but really enjoyed TKaM because something in it spoke to them. That, I think, is what really makes the impact. Having that quality that can apply to readers during the decade it was written as well as readers many decades later.

The relevance to any reader is such an important element of being considered a classic, in my opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554598904814955639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454434647297305958.post-30948679048001706362013-01-06T14:29:30.338-05:002013-01-06T14:29:30.338-05:00Thanks Megan, so nice to have you back :) Hope you...Thanks Megan, so nice to have you back :) Hope your holidays were wonderful! <br />I find I have difficulty with some of them as well; it really depends. I do hope that some of the new books of today are one day treated with the same importance as those "literary classics" that everyone loves to talk about.

I agree that we...Thanks for a great post, Jessica.<br /><br />I agree that we all have our own ideas of what a classic really is. I've read many of the traditional classics, some I enjoyed, others I hated but it's far more interesting if readers can disagree on what are the best books. <br /><br />To Kill a Mockingbird is a good choice and is proving popular in this hop so far. Think this is the third time it has been mentioned now. David M.

I agree that if the themes are relevant to the reader one hundred years later, it's a claccis. Whether it was published a hundred years ago or last week, if there is something that resonates with the reader, it's gonna be a classic to them. <a href="http://aljambor.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Java With Jambor</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617108138238393563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454434647297305958.post-58365849054083548412013-01-04T16:24:53.586-05:002013-01-04T16:24:53.586-05:00Jess, I love your explanation of a classic!

I admit, I have difficulties reading classics now. Maybe it's because there are just too many books to read, lol. But I do think someday, some of OUR beloved books will be read in high schools and revered as timeless and wonderful. <br /><br />P.S.
