I agree. As I said before, I'm fine with whatever is decided, but I will put in one more word for keeping a second classic. I think, though perhaps not a majority, that there is enough support for a second classic that it shouldn't change.
However, if it is decided that it must, here are my suggestions:
Nobel Author/Pulitzer Novel - The book must be by a Nobel-winning author or be a Pulitzer-winning book (these are the big literature awards and while there are plenty others, many are genre....to make it simple we keep it to the two big awards)
Drama - By this I mean simply drama-themed books, not plays. There are MANY great drama books that wouldn't fit in any category we have. "Drama" is simply a (mostly) realistic story.
Adventure - Books that include travelling, daring and courageous acts, journeys, etc.
