I don’t treat literature like tech books. A new novel doesn’t supplant an old one. New expressions of old ideas don’t make old ideas obsolete
There are always better books, but how do you know? Do you take my word for it? “Hey, I’ve read ALL the books, and these new books here are the best … trust me.” Better to read the old books yourself and be sure, right?
