This is a video bouncing off Gavin's great video where he thought about which modern books that he rates could potentially become classics.
On his channel he does many videos about Penguin classics, that are well worth watching, and the idea comes from that series of videos.
I tackled it, but was also surprised at some of the books that I was choosing were already in a "classic" imprint.
I mention Lekden from @arockinsamsara in the video as he picked books that I was going to choose. Check his version of this out, it's great.
Let me know what you think below.

I’d love to see what the following people come up with for their choices:
@spreadbookjoy
@BookBlather

@CliffsDarkGems
@gingerbibliophile
@horrorliterati
@Lifeonbooks
