I very much doubt that I've read all the good fiction already! ;-) 
There's probably an ample supply of suitable stuff out there. As I say, 
the problem is locating it. Obviously I don't have time to try reading 
every book ever written on the off-chance that it might be good, so I 
need a more efficient strategy.

Actually, come to think of it, if I *did* want to read something, our 
house already contains several suitable books. I just don't have the 
several months spare that it would take to read any of them...
