In my case, and I guess it's many others, PD is a sea of books with zillions of drops we cant make apart. I don't care whether the book is old or fresh, as long as it is written in a "crude way". For example, I was surprised with "No news from the eastern front" because he talked about explicit violence, masturbation, despise for the social conventions... All these things I took for modern and was very positively surprised to find them in a book from the 30s'.
Regretfully, my ignorance prevents me from finding books of the style I would enjoy inside all this mass, and sorry but I don't enjoy books where people look asleep when they die or only want to kiss the girl, much less books that praise war.
But I don't think it is a problem of the PD. The problem is mine. I am on my way to "War and Peace" and "For whom the bell tolls", trying to pry a wedge of interest in that ocean of written wealth I have been so far unable to enjoy but on the surface.
