I'm implying that in an effort to be less "dry", as another poster described it, YA tends to be more straightforward and less nuanced.

I'm stating that it's a shame if someone who loves reading YA never gets around to reading Flannery O'Connnor or Tennesee Williams or Chekhov or Mishima, etc. not just because they're "better", but because they offer an entire range of perspectives and experiences that are definitely beyond the scope of YA.

I do kind of agree with closetospring on the point that most contemporary literature is trying to hard to have a deeper meaning, but certainly there are 20th century classics going completely ignored because some people only have the ability to read YA and nothing any more challenging than that, and that is a travesty.

it is a travesty. I see so many people writing modern literature off entirely because they either read something boring or hated their high school English class. and yeah, there's good lit and then there's Franzen and Eggers, but even that is going to offer you a little more than a seven-book series about magic vampires in high school.
