Hm, come to think of it, as I google'd all the authors of whom I had particular respect -- it seems like they're all pre-1950's. Now, looking at the modern "literature" that I read.. I feel most of it is currently, for lack of a better word, is kind of trashy.. It's enjoyable and fun but I don't "respect" it ..

So, here's my list of those whom I think have a chance of going down in history, as well as some hopefuls that are likely not going to but I hope would:

William Golding - Probably / Likely
J.K Rowling - Probably / Likely
Douglas Adams - Unlikely, but I like him
Neil Gaiman - Unlikely, but I like him
George Orwell - Kind of cheating, 1984 was published in 1949..
