Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer Hank T. Cannon: Maybe it’s because I’m in my 40’s, but I’ve gotten a little (and I do mean a little, because it will pass) tired of reading about teenagers and twenty-somethings. I’ve recently discovered an urge to find novels involving older protagonists. So does the age of the protagonist matter to you? How does it affect your expectations?
