Was going to post something in the book thread but it is closed now

so I'll post it here.
I hate how newer authors rip off old books people have never heard of and make lots of money of things that have already been done. Paulo Coehlo's
Veronika Decides to Die (and that man is basically the only novelist known in most of Latin America among the common people unfortunately) is a rip-off of
The Bachelor Girl by Barnaby published in 1922.
