What's your cutoff year for reading books? (lemmy.ml)

Given how AI is already polluting the water of literary works, I'm likely never going to read a new book for quite some time, but will just pursue books before 2010.

Is 2010 a good cutoff?

I gave that hope up years ago.

He backed himself into a corner and doesn't want to admit that he can't fit it all into a final book and/or just doesn't enjoy writing that world or story anymore.

It would be nice if he released an outline or draft. He probably could have milked that since I know I'd have bought both a draft and the final book whenever he finished it.
