Its an great opinion Simon but…I believe that your things must be added with an very important thing…Yes im agree the novel can lose his attractive but if you as writer create an impressive and Fresh novel that create new sensations in your readers your work will be immortal no matter how much time pass from your work…

Examples? Too much …Dickens with big hopes, Edgar allan poe and others..they are immortal…the key to an great an immortal novel its create an beauty picture that makes dream the reader…not create an simply product that will die in a few months and everybody will forget
