A fact from Classic book appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 June 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that playwright Alan Bennett's definition of a classic book is "a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have read themselves"?
The title of the topic is "Classic book," yet the first sentence of the article seems to define the word classic by itself by saying "A classic is a book accepted as being exemplary or particularly noteworthy." Technically, the word classic could be applied to any sort of art form, like literature or film. Shouldn't the opening sentence be, "A classic book is on that is accepted as being exemplary or particularly noteworthy"? Prileymovieguy84 (talk) 03:49, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
