Western canon of 22nd Century:

-Tolkien will be the gold standard to be studied by professors who are out of touch with hip new things
-Cormac McCarthy will be the new Joyce
-Collected works of Stephen King, but it will be questionable if they really were written by him
-Twilight & 50 Shades of Gray for feminists

Above all HARRY POTTER THE POST MODERN MASTERPIECE that brought us the joyful era of manchildren reading books about actual children.
Universities will add that John Green is better because his books don't have dragons and poo poo.
