It's actually pretty depressing that most of my favorite authors are not only dead, but they've been dead long enough to be out of copyright in most countries. But I don't like most modern writing. Then again, I don't really like modern movies or TV shows, either. And the new books I do read are almost entirely historical fiction...
I don't think that's depressing at all...I'm not to thrilled with much of what is being published these days either. But when you have ALL OF HISTORY to choose from!
