1. Not all literary fiction is Alice Munro with sad white people having feelings.
2. Reading, like almost everything else, is a habit. If you usually read steampunk YA with vampires, those books become easier and more fun to read and everything else becomes harder.
3. I'm a little tired of YA and genre readers acting like they're oppressed when they dominate book conversation online. Goodreads, blogs, tumblr, there are so many readers and writers talking about books. Places like absolute write and nanowrimo are filled with people writing YA and genre stories. There is nothing like that for literary fiction. Maybe in the real world people frown at adults reading books about teenagers, but there is a huge community that doesn't.

Agreed. There's even an academic sphere for them, although admittedly it's still small (my school has its own Children's Lit-centered program which extends to YA, since the "young adult" part sometimes goes as high as early twenties).

Point number 2 is incredibly wise and needs to be repeated over and over and over. I hate the attitude of "if it's not fun/I don't like it right away, then it is absolutely not fun and will never be so!" It takes time to get used to different things!

Sometimes people have limited amounts of time that they can devote to reading, though, and they don't want to use that time reading things that don't grab their attention or that they don't enjoy, which is perfectly reasonable.
