This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl asks us to share the Top Ten 21st Century Books I Think Will Become Classics.
I’m not sure my reading preferences will line up with canon, but what can you do:
- The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak
- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
- The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
- The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas
- Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin
- Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds
- The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
- March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell
- A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
Interestingly this list features a lot more books by men than my usual lists. I wonder what that says about my internalization about the inherent value and timelessness of male subjects and voices. Probably not good things.
What books do you consider modern classics?
