Not really classic litterature, most of his books were written fifty or less years ago...

What makes a book classic? Just time? Not trying to argue just curious.

I feel Vonnegut is as important, highly regarded, and influential as many other classics.

I also feel like Lonesome Dove could be considered a classic, but it is less than 40 years old.

Breakfast of Champions actually turns 50 this year, so it's about to be a 50-50 split.
