RULES:

Discuss five books that you predict will become future classics.

1) Pick an established classic that you think will still be relevant in the future.

2) Pick a recent book which you feel has gone under the radar, but which you’re confident will be a future classic.

3) Pick a title that won one of your favourite book prizes recently which you think will still be lauded in 50 years time.

4) Pick a recent book you haven’t read yet, but which you think might become a classic based on reputation alone (reviews, responses on GoodReads, booktube recommendations, etc).

5) Pick a favourite book that you want to save for your grandchildren (or your friends’ grandchildren) to read in 50 years time. This can be a children't book or a book for adults - anything you connect with personally that you hope a future generation will connect with too.
