classic idk, but so far pynchon's inherent vice is pretty darn fun (I'm just at page 50 though). if anything, it'll survive through his other more sizable works.

I agree. Hopefully PTA will go through with his adaptation, should be interesting.

I really wish The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris would be, but it probably won't check it out though. It's fantastic

meh, I'm pretty sure it will be outshone by what he writes in the next ten years, much as Shakespeare's early work appears less significant next to Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear.

Nah, Twilight is in line with bestselling crap. It will be forgotten after the movies have expired.

In before Harry Potter fags start talking about how Harry Potter is the greatest shit ever with an awesome universe. Harry Potter is this decade's Narnia.

Seeing a lot of English language picks in this thread for some reason. None of these books about America or individuality have anything to say to the global distributed citizen-serf of the Sino-Hispanic 22nd century. Think about it. Half you fuckers won't even look at Dickens.
