Look at a bestsellers' list from 20 years ago and see if you recognise any of them.
Just the ones I've read:
GERALD'S GAME, by Stephen King
THE PELICAN BRIEF, by John Grisham
WHERE IS JOE MERCHANT? by Jimmy Buffett
OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! by Dr. Seuss
The ones I recognize but have not read:
WAITING TO EXHALE, by Terry McMillan
THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, by Robert James Waller
DARK FORCE RISING, by Timothy Zahn
I'm all for cutting back the length of copyright, but I believe it's only fair to allow authors to be paid during their lifetime.
