What books in the last 50 years will last?

[The Colourful Jester]

Just wondering if anyone wants to take a punt at what books will be remembered down the centuries. Anything from Douglas Adams or Stephan King? Non fiction as well, perhaps Dawkins books?

I can't imagine anything by Dawkins will be remembered. Bet 85% of people don't even know who he is. Seriously, no Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in that list? Your atheist membership card has been revoked. *shred*

Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr

A song of ice and fire might just be finished in 50 years.

I read House of Leaves twice and the damn thing fell apart!

Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr

To be fair it's very close to the 50 year cutoff.

My vote goes to Midnight's Children

I think Neil Gaiman will be around in that time. American Gods, Smoke and Mirrors.......

Absolutely Douglas Addams!!
