Liz wrote: "Harry Potter is the only one that makes sense and probably Perks of Being a Wallflower as well."That might be true but this list is for the book people would like to be classics in the future. Or books they think will be classics. This list is purely opinionated, so it doesn't really matter whether all of the books on it make sense or not. :)
