>>And, considering ~only~
time period, what percentage of literature Qs should
cover the 20th century?
This is an interesting
question. This Sunday, I went to the local used bookstore
and bought 11 books (for $17, it was a good deal).
All of those books were written in the 20th century,
but I'd really have to stretch to try and remember
the last time any of those books came up. In general,
most of QB literature seems to very heavily favor the
17th - 19th centuries, with more emphasis on poetry
and drama than novels. That, of course, has just been
my perception, garnered from the packets I've heard,
but I do get the feeling that 20th century literature
usually gets the shaft in QB.
