[What Defines A Classic?]

In my opinion "classic" is not a good definition of books. I would rather sort books by the time they were released and then check the impact they have had on society/etc. so far. Occasionally I use classic - for example Shakespears Romeo and Juliet is a classic in my opinion - but the definition is pretty vague so if you really want to say something about a book, you have to do more than just call it a classic.

[Hello there !]

Hi guys,

 

my name is Jonathan and I stumbled upon this forum looking for discussions on mystery/horror-books. I realized the forum was much bigger than that so I decided to give it a try and so far I am not disappointed. I am 34 years old and I work as a tech support guy in Liverpool. Looking forward to nice discussions !

 

Cheers,
