The only new books I read are from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Most new books are terrible, with all this cheating wives/husbands and some surprise rape thrown in there for some reason.

Old books do a fine job of telling stories without some random rape bullshit thrown in. I feel like the authors do it on purpose, maybe they'll think more people will read it? I don't know, but it ought to say on the back if it's a rapey book. I don't sign up to read about rape.

The good thing about books, though, is you can delve into the classics. Right now I am enjoying Isaac Asimov. It's a shame there's not a lot of good new books right now, but libraries still rock with older books.

I used to read Preston and Child for entertainment, but lately I've lost interest. I can't stomach any more Pendergast novels. I'm finding it very hard to find fiction that can hold my interest. An exception is Cormac McCarthy, who is a great writer -- our greatest living writer in my opinion. As for the crap that is being churned out by the truckload, I can't even begin to read it.

Yeah I also got sick of pendergast. I like the gideon crew novels but then I'm not too sure how new they are. I'll be sure to check out Cormac McCarthy, thanks for the tip.
