Fwiw I also bemoan the lack of good adult reading. To me, YA is like candy. It's yummy and fun, but if you eat candy all day you lose appreciation for 'real' food, and eating it becomes a drag. That said, I personally get a lot of satisfaction from digging through this classics, even though I admit that I too have a tendency to want to read easy, relaxing fluff.

Sadly, yes. That is exactly what they say... I mean, for me it's a bit weird because if I go too long without what's considered literature I start feeling like I'm not even reading at all, and rush for something heavy and satisfying.
starphotographs: ...I'm not that bad, though. And I don't even light things on fire! Well, not regularly... (Izaya (devious))

But what about all the candy that boasts 100% of your daily vitamin C!? :P

I've been reading a few different types of books for a fandom project and YA is like, well, it's often pretty superficial to me. What you see is what get. Fun and fast moving, but the atmosphere does not tend to infect your mind and inspire strange and wonderful thoughts. Well, ymmv anyway. But sometimes I don't wanna put in the brain effort and get subtly challenged and changed, I just wanna read a fun book. Ideally both types would be popular but I get why they aren't. I just wish sometimes all people would read and watch something that goes beyond everyday tangible thoughts and wish-fulfilment. Maybe that's elitist of me.

This is why I like YA. When I read, I read because I want a good story that keeps me turning the pages until the very end. I put in enough brain effort at work already, and most of my hobbies are the creative sort on top of that. Reading is something I do for fun and relaxation and I'm really not interested in slogging through something dense.
