>Is it a bad idea to limit myself to reading only contemporary fiction? I.e. fiction written after 1960?

All of the greatest works of literature are written before this date. To only read books from the 60's onward is to prevent yourself from reading 90% of the greatest works every written.

it's fine
you can read what you like

honestly most of /lit/ doesn't read enough contemporary literature and is pretty disengaged with anything happening at the moment

it's easier to read the established classics once they've had time to become canonised i guess

He said the 1960s, not post 2010. With all the Pynchon, Delillo, Murakami, Ishiguro, Borges, Márquez, Bolaño etc /lit/ talks more than enough about post 60's works.
