No, of course not :-). 

Everything from Heinlein juveniles, to Verne's _The Mysterious
Island_, to Rick Brant books.  Sitting near my desk waiting to be read
are 4 W.E.Butterworth young-adult car books, which I can't resist
looking into since I rather like his work as W.E.B. Griffin.  

I've been going back and getting hardcover editions of some of the
older books I liked.  Lots of fairly cheap ex-library editions of the
Heinlein around, for example.  I've picked up some Alan E. Nourse I
liked as a child, too.
