Any story with a Nazi angle, too, has been WAY overdone.

I think I'm going to focus now - for the moment - less on fiction and more on non-fiction, as non-fiction can be just as crazy but it really DID happen. In fact, I recently finished a book (can't recall the title now) and when I finished the last page, I was just like, 'OMG, what STUPID book!' And it was stupid because the story was so familiar, had been done so many times before.
