3 Reasons to stop reading new books and choose old ones instead:
1). Survivorship bias - Bad books don't stay in circulation long, but good books are remembered. We're left with mostly the best books after a few centuries.
2). Ancient authors probably lived vastly more interesting lives than your average modern writer who gets their takes from the internet (see article below).
3). By reading books from many different time periods, you'll identify the commonalities between them. Thus you'll get a good understanding of patterns across history and human nature.
