Reddit r/Books: What Distinguishes A Great Book From Just A Really Good Book?
Quote:
 
I'm genuinely curious as to your opinion, because I will as often be as impressed by a classic as totally disappointed. And there are many books with great merit that aren't considered "literature" -- and some would never even be allowed to be contenders (especially genre fiction).

Sometimes I feel as though the tag of "classic" or "literature" or even "great literature" is completely arbitrary. (Reddit user travelingScandanavia)
