As a reader I totally agree with you - I get frustrated that the books I want to read aren't there! I know what I likes - stories! Its sad that the stories I want to read are only found on the internet or worse, on TV.
I won't read Game of Thrones books because the TV show satiates my curiosty for the stories far more than the books!! The characters are actually up to more 'no good' and better realised on the screen and yet, if that had happened in the books they would be better!
And writers need to be more bold and adventurous too. Where are my horny elves making naughty M/M scenes so I blush? Where are my fierce woman warriors and corrupt and bored princess's blowing off steam in roman baths by not keeping their hands to themselves? I want to remember wicked human experiences not "They went here, they went there, fight, fight, monster, MAGIC! Its all over! Everyone went home and become monks and nuns - the end!"
That's why I read books as a kid. I'm a grown up now... go behind the curtain!
And for the record, I refuse to read 50 Shades of Grey. Its RUBBISH!
