I have to say, I have nothing against reading YA, but the idea of being an adult reading YA exclusively does seem kind of strange to me. I mean, I guess if that's what you find entertaining, that's your bag, but at the end of the day, they are written explicitly for teenagers, with all that entails.

Well, to be fair, there is a fair amount of YA that's marketed at teenagers, but isn't necessarily written solely for them, which I think is a point that a lot of people tend to overlook.

I discovered that YA was a genre here, tbh. I've read Harry Potter but I can't really recall other YA books I've read. Or maybe I have and I didn't know.

Wait, is the Choose your own adventure YA? I read those when I was a kid.

The trouble is, while there is some market for adult SF/F, a lot of genre stuff gets tossed in with YA if it doesn't have too much explicit sex, because genre is commonly viewed as "lesser" and fantasy is "obviously for children," which are stupid attitudes that have nothing to do with the content of the books or the people who enjoy them.

not really explicitly for teenagers. reading a YA sci-fi book vs an 'adult' sci-fi book, for example, the 'level' or writing, plots, and characters are often exactly the same. YA books tend to be shorter, with younger protagonists, but that's about it.

A lot of adult scifi books have the Doom and Gloom that most YA books don't have. I just want to read something that isn't Doom and Gloom all over!
