Have you tried rereading any book that people consider an eternal classic?
A math textbook typically wouldn't fit the bill (though certain exceptional textbooks would of course) and Madiq Alley gets good reviews, but opinion seems mixed.
Hamlet, by contrast, is still widely read centuries after publishing. I expect Wodehouse will continue to be read long after we're dead (plus the author of the original piece had a personal connection).
There's no guarantee you'll like rereading of course. But I've found I can't reread most books, but others I can read many, many times.
- hodwik 12y agoIf one of the greatest novels by the first Arab to ever win the Nobel Prize for literature doesn't count as an eternal classic then maybe not (Bible and Tao Te Ching not included, of course). Hard to answer when I am left scarcely able to wonder at where you cut off such 'eternal classics'.
