26 Modern Books That Will Become Classics, According to People on Reddit

"There are certain books that feel almost inherently "classic." To Kill A Mockingbird. Catcher in the Rye. Moby Dick. But do you ever wonder what the world thought when these books first hit shelves? There are books on our shelves right now, being placed lovingly on "New Release" tables by booksellers, that will someday be given their own "classic" stamps."
