Yes, some books written today will be considered classics in 100 years but I'd bet none will be of the kind Gates read during his vacations.

  nonfiction books rarely become "classics", that doesn't mean they're not important or worth reading.

    Maybe we don't have the same definition for classics. To me the Bible is a classic, as are the Pensées de Pascal, or the Daodejing, or Shakespeare.
