I think if she wrote a mystery and couldn’t prove a solution that would make her a bad mystery writer. I could come up with a great locked door mystery if I didn’t have to have solution.

Depending on how modern of classic you are looking for, I’d add
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (late 70s) The Fellowship of the Ring (50s) Brideshead revisited (1945) And Then There Were None (1939) Phantom of the Opera (1910)
I also second The Picture of Dorian Gray, Virginia Woolf and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (it’s a 2000s book)

I love a lot of these books! But a few might not be old enough to be a classic. I feel like even modern classics probably need to have a decade or two to age into that position.

I’d keep it! The Alchemist isn’t for everyone but a lot of these books are divisive. I liked the book.

I agree with the other comment. What type of books do you like?
