The only trends I've seen are in the online world: Abreviations, new vocab.
It's been a long time since I picked up anew book and was blown away or immersed.
I feel literature has suffered a fall, not only in writers skill, but also to what is applauded and marked as 'great journalism'.
It's a shame that the written word has fallen behind the visual representation of stories and fact.
Yet I do admire the skill behind the art of many movies and documentaries today - truly pieces of artistry.
I just wish written work was given such a budget and attention, to aquire thr heights it once did.
