- coldtea 6y agoOne way to see the parents comment is not as: - "These will be classics" but as: - "These authors are already dead/or will be, and their books are already decades old, but they are very good according to me, even classic status worthy". In that sense, it's an answer to TFA's question: "why read classic books" if we consider it as not just asking "why read classic==canonized books?" but "why read class==old books?" And the answer is "because old books can be great, and contemporary books that are great will at some point be 'classics' themselves".
