As (Primarily) Childrens books I was never expecting anything as thought provoking as an interstellar war between the Xeelee and the Photino birds, nor was I expecting a mythos that doesnt rely on "We alter there memory, Lawlz", I was however, that the books wouldn't magically (see what I did there) reach it's climax at the end of the school year. Seven years in a row.
Dumbledore: "Wait... It's the end of the school year, quickly, everyone, to your exams!"
I do however, forget my point.

Perhaps, but nobody knows about it if it doesn't sell, so it can't be a 'classic' per se. Though you can call anything you like a classic.
Of course Selling well =/= classic. DAN BROWN.

Point well made. I've seen better characterization on the backs of cereal boxes.

After the second time, I'll just pick it up, open it to a random point or a point I like, depending on my mood. But all in all, I've read each of them many, many times.
