Upthread I posted *a couple* definitions of Classic Literature. They are definitions that *most* people would agree with. Obviously you don't. Until you get "Supreme Arbiter of Classic Literature" after your name, you're just going to have to live with other peoples opinions.

If you don't like a "Classic" don't read it. Telling other folks that what you don't like isn't "Classic" is just going to get you ignored.

Which is what I'm going to do.
