When I was younger and had not read as much asI have now that I am close to 46, I was more inclined to like what I read and shout at the roof tops on how good "that book" was. Now that I have a larger arsenal to compare books to, I can be more selective on what I judge to be a good book. Some books I read when I was younger I have re-read them and found them to be flat and lifeless. Other books flower like a good wine does with age.
I tend to believe that if people are still reading the book decades from now, then it too like wine has stood the test of time. That is where I find my vintage tastes going when I am looking for a new read.
Ten years from now we will look back at the Twilight series and either laugh at ourselves over it like we do with Flowers in our hair, mullets, or snuggies. Or we will raise a glass to that literary genius that created a media empire of Vampire wanna be's.
