Why all the old stuff?
I did not find old books to be any less well written than new books. In fact, I prefer to be able to go through the whole series instead of waiting for each book. Old Man's War were one of series that I put off for a long time thinking it's old but turned out to be one of my favorites.
It’s not that, they are good. It’s just most could use new stuff.
