borges and garcía márquez will definitely still be read, on a global scale, in 100 years, just like we still read kafka. by the way murakami is nice but i don't find him so original in the light of the people i just mentioned (especially kafka).

people who are alive who will be read... to find out how we live today? like, realist writers? people will probably watch our documentaries more like. as for fiction...

i'm thinking, i'm thinking...!

harry potter?

but anyway, in english, mccarthy is the one i think writes like nobody else--i can't read him and say "oh i've seen this shit before." he defeats me, repeatedly, but not from any sense of banality or irrelevancy. also, unlikely to age poorly.
