I think that when you read a good book, you get so immersed in it that you do not want to put the book down! I got the book called "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin for my Sony PRS-505SC and I did not want to put it down at all last night!

Again though, the only way to know if a book's going to be a classic is wait fifty or a hundred years and see if it's still popular. I'm glad you liked the books. I didn't. I couldn't finish the first and won't read the others. I'll still buy any future ones, because others in the household do like them. |

I would say that it is someone who routinely sells writing for money. I've been published, but it was 7 years ago.

True, it doesn't necessarily need to be their primary source of income. But I do think it needs to be an ongoing thing. I'd go with Hellmark's definition of 'routinely sells writing for money'.
