But what the 'classics' are is so vast now, and varies from publishing house to publishing house anyway. I mean just look at the Penguin Classics list.

It includes all kinds of sci-fi, erotica, bug-ass crazy rubbish, sensation novels never expected to outlive their financial use to their author, and lots and lots of cheese.

Glancing at the list and grabbing one at random - Lewis's The Monk is on there, a novel so full of hyperbollic gross-out sex and torture porn that the only way the author could up the ante again for the climax was to have the actual devil turn up and throw the antagonist around like a cartoon character.

I don't judge anyone for what they do or don't read, but I think the OP has a very narrow view of what constitutes "The Classics".

Omg, they have Darwin there.



Yes, that was my notion. OP probably uses the term in a somewhat narrow sense.
