Today’s question was suggested by Barbara:
Do you think any current author is of the same caliber as Dickens, Austen, Bronte, or any of the classic authors? If so, who, and why do you think so? If not, why not? What books from this era might be read 100 years from now?
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!
This is a touchy subject…
This mine 🙂
Happy BTT 🙂

Very nice question- it’s thought provoking. Here’s my answer.
I can see this one being fairly controversial!

Thanks for using my question! I don’t really have an answer — which is one reason, I guess, why I asked the question.
I’ll be looking forward to reading some answers!

Excellent question! My opinion;

Ouch! Here’s me, sitting on the fence…
Dan Brown is on my list. See why here.
