I'm still confused about what it takes to claim sufficient groundswell support that it's time to call for a poll. Who the heck decided all this?
So what is wring with a more modern classic? Do we only count books that are more then 50 years old to be classic? There are classic works that are not that old, the author isn't dead, and the book is not in the public domain in any country.

As I see it, classic was added in a 2nd time by mistake and overlooked until I've brought it up
