Is anyone writing decent adult fiction anymore? I look at the best selling hardback fiction in the Wall St Journal weekend edition. Most weeks two or three classic Dr. Seuss books and some other children’s books are there. Seldom are there any books in hardback fiction that I would care to read myself.
I’m thinking that the Dr. Seuss and other children’s books are bought by parents and other grownups as gifts for children. I don’t think grownups read hardback fiction anymore. I know I am reading a fair number of Young Adult books. The YA books have protagonists that actually do something, have a plot that I can follow and have some interesting things happen, and other sequels so that if I liked the first one, I can buy and read some more of the same.
