Actually, every fiction book is the same. Check out "The Hero with a Thousand Faces"- it explains the base concept behind any story. The details is all that differ. And it's not only about books. Movies, computer games, paintings, music- in every art genre there is a common idea. So, why do we still listen to the same music? Why do we read the same book about heroes and adventures? Because we are humans- we still love the same things we loved 1000 years ago. I mean Odyssey was written long ago, but you can "upgrade" the story or make your own version of it and it would sell.
