Thank you to Veros @ Dark Shelf of Wonders for submitting this topic. It’s something I think about regularly and can’t wait to see how everyone else responds to.
It’s hard to tell which books will become classics. Not every bestseller is actually well written or will continue to affect readers in twenty or fifty years. Likewise, I have no doubt there are some true gems out there that may have had middling to poor sales but will eventually be rediscovered and taught in classrooms all across the world.
Here are some books I think might pass the test of time…but we’ll have to wait to see if I’m right!
1. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
2. My Brilliant Friend (Neapolitan Novels, #1) by Elena Ferrante
3. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
4. The Deep by Rivers Solomon
5. Everfair (Everfair, #1) by Nisi Shawl
6. The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
I was not able to come up with a full ten answers this week. Here’s hoping you all were able to do that.
