I agree about the opinion, but disagree about the "not bringing anything useful" as it clearly indicates my astonishment that anyone could hold that opinion. By all means let's continue the discussion.
Clearly "Classics" by their very definition indicate that a significant majority of people believe they are important and worthy of reading. So when someone designates the entire category as over-hyped there's something rotten in Denmark.
I guess the follow-on questions is along the vein of "Lord of the Rings" and why it would or would not be considered a classic and if of if not it is over-hyped.
Just as a reminder the thread subject is "Most Over-Hyped Classic Masterpiece"
