I'm preferring to go with a modern classics in this case. That means books that are already classic or destined to become classics. I'm not going based on age. Age just makes them old. Old does not make a book a classic.

Books like A Passage to India are considered classics and yet are awful awful books. So no, age is irrelevant as to what a classic is.
