Reaction to "Against YA" Article

    I did not agree with this article while reading "Against YA: Read what you want. But you should feel embarrassed when what you're reading was written for children." A lot of young adult books definitely aren't for children. They have sex and drugs and alcohol or a lot of other things you wouldn't want a child to hear about. I found it very annoying that they said you should feel embarrassed. Heck no you shouldn't. Young Adult books are actually entertaining and have good story lines, unlike some fancy literature that she thinks you should be reading.
     Reading is meant for you to escape from the world for a little while, and just relax and enjoy yourself. It's meant for you to relate to, and adults definitely don't want to read about boring adult lives. Most adults don't want to be old, and enjoy reading YA because being an adult down right sucks. Being responsible sucks. So if they want to read a book for teenagers, let them.
     I'm not judging if you don't read YA, and do in fact read the fancy literature. Read whatever the heck you want and have no shame in it, as long as you enjoy it. I did find it shocking to find that half of the people that buy YA books are over the age of eighteen, but I don;t see anything wrong with that, it was just shocking.
