Are there any modern-day books that you believe will be labeled
"classics" in the decades to come?

21st C.? 'Cause plenty from second half of 20th!

The last 40/50 years.

If you look at the late 20th century and 21st century books added to the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list, there are some candidates I think. I would certainly nominate Atonement by Ian McEwan and Possession by A. S. Byatt. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt was just added in the latest update and I also think it will be talked about for some time.

I assume the Harry Potter Collection will stand the test of time.
I, however, listened to only one of the books in the collection.
