Do you prefer vintage or modern books? What about quality?

My fiance and I have recently been reading a book entitled "The Emigrants" by Vilhelm Moberg,It is a story about a group of Swedish Parishioners who are destined to America, this book was set in the 1800's and features struggles in farming and religion,it is a great story and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys stories that are set back in this time or have to do with immigration as well as farming,my fiance's great grandmother left this among other books to my fiance,and we have started to read this book which we have to get the rest of the series to find out about what happens to the settlers who leave their homeland in search of a better life, when we first started reading this book,I thought it was going to be boring due to all the weird names,but after like the first chapter the book really got me interested and now I am eagerly waiting for us to read part two which is about the emigrants journey at sea,I have always liked books that are full of action such as old west books with fights,and showdowns where guys draw guns and attempt to shoot each other,and those are usually the only books that can keep my attention,because they are set in older times,back when things were simpler and people actually worked for what they earned, which are better than the most modern books if you ask me,since most modern books seem to be about people complaining about their work and stuff like that and I would have to say that my favorite book right now would have to be Emigrants,which brings me to my questions Do you prefer vintage or modern books?Why do you prefer that type of book?Have you always preferred that type of book?What is your favorite book of that type?Why is it your favorite?I will appreciate all responses I get on this discussion,and just like with all my other discussions,I will appreciate if anyone who adds responses does so in a completely serious manner,and I promise that I will comment on all responses that I get,but I can only promise that my comments will be as good as the responses I get,have a great day.
