Young Adult
Browsing through goodreads.com and come across their year in review and discover that young adult (YA) titles where some of the most read books of the year.
I dont get it. Unless english teachers and librarians across the world are forcing kids to buy these books and sign up for goodreads.com why are actual adults so smitten with these types of books? Am I missing something about the category?
Now, I understand the occasional YA title becoming popular (e.g. Harry Potter) , but is the world of fiction so barren or adults of the world so emotionally and intellectually stunted that theyd rather read books written for kids?
I read somewhere that statistically men dont read and that the majority of books published these days are bought and read by women. So, I guess what I am asking is why so many women want to read books for kids.
Clueless I guess.
