I love to read things over 75 years old because I've come to love the style of writing from days of yore, as well as the descriptions, word choice, sentence structure, typeface, paper quality, smell, the thought of 'if walls (book) could talk', all of these factors. Story is important too obviously, so hit me with the oldy-but-goody works you know!
