Very interesting! I agree with Stephen King being on the list 100 years from now; I think his influence on literature but also on cinema and telivision has been of importance.

I would think that J. K. Rowling might be on the list for children fiction, for Harry Potter. The fact that they evolve mainly in a magical world will help than stand the test of time.

I didn't think about children's books until after I had made my list. I think Laura Ingalls Wilder could persist as well.
