Heyy, literature written before 1960 makes up the bulk of what's available to read today! :) I can't understand people who only read 'modern' lit because understanding most of the good stuff (and even the bad stuff) assumes at least a passing familiarity with the classics.

And I went through a phase where ALL i was listening to was VG soundtracks. One of the reasons why I'd really like to make (or just join) a music sharing community is the fact that it's difficult these days to find music that is really...different. Even sites/apps like Pandora and Rhapsody are dedicated to finding music in genres you are already familiar with and like, and don't challenge you with stuff that falls outside your obvious preferences. Hearing someone gush about a song they really love at least piques your interest in listening to it...at least, that's how I feel. ^^

I don't remember most of Grimms' fairy tales but I really, really enjoyed The Little Mermaid. In my women's studies course many many years ago I rewrote and illustrated that version of the tale for an assignment...because I am a dork.
