Rowling is not the best writer, she may be this generations Cervantes, considering how limited this generation is.
What makes literature great? Is it how well it is written, how timeless the story is, how well a particular generation regards it?
I think the Potter books will be last. I don’t think she will replace Tolstoy or Dickens in terms of how future generations regard literature, but she has made a mark.
Twilight, however, really does suck.
The generation that grew up reading her will keep that stuff alive at least as long as they live. I don’t know if their kids will like it much though.
Heh, I haven’t read her at all. They’ll be a Cervantes, but it’s not her.
Do you consider Don Quixote to be a good book?
