Tch, the Guardian can do better. This is just whinging that says nothing. Death, loss, weakness, depression, and all the other apparently mundane stuff are the stuff of life; it's just the circumstances and conditions of your life that alters the ways in which these things affect you. I didn't explain myself well at all, but you know what I mean... I think the problem isn't so much boring *topics* as much as the way in which the topics are dealt with in books... good writers will work at, and succeed, in making good literature out of the ordinary stuff of everyday life... and boring whingers will continue to write boring, superficial, whingy books... which will be then read by boring, whingy, superficial Guardian columnists.
