I find old books more emotional and more passionate. They have magic in them.Lest92 wrote:I prefer older books but I've started to read books set more recently.

Wow that's great you went there because of book . By the way I haven't readjenjayfromSA wrote:Has anyone read Maurice Walsh. He wrote gripping books set in Ireland and Scotland after the Second World War with a real understanding of the countryside and culture. I went to Scotland because of him and found much that he described. Amazon has one or two, otherwise my copies were inherited from parents or picked up at sales.

Yes you are right ! Old or new , it doesn't matter as long as book is goodKlareAllison wrote:I like good books, who doesn't anyway? The classification of old or recent has no place of influence in my choice of books. When I want to pace the streets of medieval England, I visit writers of that period like Geoffrey Chaucer and when I want to feel the tempers of the Victorian times I look towards Charles Dickens, for instance. For recent books, generally, I focus on themes that interest me at that particular time of reading. So, the answer is both!
