Since America's 78 million baby boomers started turning 60 last year, dozens of novels with graying protagonists and late-life themes have hit the nation's bookstores, adding a few new wrinkles to the face of contemporary fiction and underscoring a sobering fact about readers in America: The most avid book-lovers are 50 and older.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-boomlit15nov15,0,6079772.story?coll=la-tot-topstories&track=ntothtml"><DIV>
 Novels "are going to now have to have characters that the aging population recognizes," she said, and "you're going to start seeing all of those books in larger print."</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-boomlit15nov15,0,6079772.story?coll=la-tot-topstories&track=ntothtml"><DIV>
 "Novels of decline" have been giving way to slightly more optimistic fare, she said. The pain of old age isn't downplayed, but often "there's a balance between loss and love."</DIV></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-boomlit15nov15,0,6079772.story?page=2&track=ntothtml&coll=la-tot-topstories" href="http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-boomlit15nov15,0,6079772.story?page=2&track=ntothtml&coll=la-tot-topstories" style="font-size: 11px;">www.latimes.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-boomlit15nov15,0,6079772.story?page=2&track=ntothtml&coll=la-tot-topstories"><DIV>
 The Morgans aside, these books also have a lot more sex than earlier explorations of aging. "Jimi Hendrix Turns Eighty" features an octogenarian orgy. An aging Michael Tolliver engages in a threesome with his younger lover and his dying mother's hairdresser in "Michael Tolliver Lives."</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0DAEE8A1-F425-4471-B34C-D638179B2993/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
