5/6/14 22:06It's so much fun when people who've read half a dozen YA books in their whole lives want to talk about how serious literature doesn't exist in YA.
And the counterargument is that not everything has to be serious literature and you're allowed to read books just for fun.
I agree that not everything is serious literature and you're allowed to read books just for fun! But why write off serious literature as something that YA can't/doesn't/won't do, unless you have actually read enough books to evaluate that in an honest way?
Oh, people would just rather make fun of teenage girls? OK then.
