My parents must be the same generation as yours. They had all of the books you mention, plus works by Mario Puzo, Chaim Potok, Herman Wouk, Mary Renault, many others. Do young people read any of these authors today? I read some of them when I was in my teens and a few had a big effect on me. Sometimes I think about going back to these authors.
My parents (mostly my dad) were big readers and they only bought hardcovers. They have a very impressive library (including the "Harvard Classics"). Out of 5 kids, I'm the big reader in the family, but I live in an apartment so I'm not sure what will happen to all those books!
