Classic Novel : A Book that Readers Love

As I stared in the blank pages of my pad , my mind was wandering and drifting to far off places never heard nor seen , thinking that I would write about my own definition of a classic novel . And , as I sat in front of the computer , still , I could not compose myself , yet there were ideas blinking in my mind just like the cursor blinking and mocking me for not typing right away . Then the words flowed out

Their songs are still revered today that they served as background music to theatrical plays and were major concert pieces of top caliber orchestra around the world . In contrast , the Beatles who were Liverpudlian boys just emerged in the early sixties and is said to have conquered the world through their music , with many followers that included the old ones in the sixties who were now dead today and the youths of the sixties who were now old today . Yet , the songs were not just the ones considered classic but also the place , the persons and events that were mentioned in their song .
