~ an author or a literary work of the first rank, especially one of demonstrably enduring quality.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/classic)
I have no doubt in my mind that the book I am currently reading (Christopher Pike, Thirst: Red Dice), will NEVER become a classic novel. Red Dice, as I mentioned in an earlier blog post, is a story about a 5000yr old vampire named Alisa. Red Dice is also part of a 3 in 1 book, in a series of 3 books. Not only is the vampire genre just a fad (with the only 'classic' vampire novel being Bram Stoker's Dracula), but I have never in my life heard of a classic novel with more than 2 sequels. For these reasons and more, I find it nearly impossible to even imagine this book becoming a classic.
