I do read modern books but they are usually ongoing characters. Ben Hope, Alex Delaware, Jack Reacher. Pretty easy reads. The hero always wins. Don’t know if I want to get depressed.
"Blood Meridian" is historical fiction about a gang of scalp hunters in 1850's Mexico/Texas. Some of the main characters really existed. But the book is mostly mindless violence and terrible suffering with some philosophical ramblings about war and the nature of man.
