nothing, but long-term popularity doesn't, of itself, make it a classic, any more than does popularity alone.
Some books now generally described as classics weren't popular originally, and/or aren't popular now.
Still, if you think GWTW is a classic, it might help if you say what makes you think so - in other words, give us a definition of classic.
