I super disagree about Kristin Hannah. I did mostly enjoy the Great Alone, but I see no future where it or any of her other books are considered classics. They are popular historical fiction written not extremely skillfully.

The Hunger Games was popular with the YA set, but I can’t see it becoming a classic. I’d be curious to hear your case for why you think it will stand the test of time?
