That's why I read fiction; to get away from the world I live in. So, for me, almost any novel taking place during the 20th or 21st century is automatically out. Fantasy, SF, history, alternate history etc. are fine. I also read non-fictional books about different things. But as to fiction, contemporary novels are no-no for me.
