You know that YA is not only about vampires, fairies (I confess I haven't seen a YA book about fairies yet), magic and high school? No? Perhaps you should revisit the youth section again or better study a bit about the different types of literature.

And please don't act all high and mighty here ("I'm the only one who prefers grown-up books" - of course, you are the only one and therefor better; and when people hang around the YA section they read of course only this type of books because you know this just by looking at them - no, they don't read different types of literature or are just there to buy a book for someone else! etc.) when you can't even be adult enough to tell the truth about your work. How you even got the office job without even graduating High School is beyond me. And thankfully you are not really a psychiatrist working with patients.

When you read sentences like this clearly you're only in the Fiction/Literature section because you're forced to, and obviously if you "read what you want to read" that excludes anything older than Tolkien or without vampires, fairies, magic and high school you know immediately that the person has next to no knowledge about literature.

They get their reading tips from the Hipster 101 Bible (beware if they would make their own choices regarding reading - no, the book must be hip and the plot should be really complicated and ~deep) and if you argument with them why you didn't like this "amazing" book you will be (of course) answered with: "That's because you didn't understand it".

You'll find this type often at the university (I swear there were tons of this type) and they usually only read the books who are known as deeply psychological, with lots of metaphors or so-called "masterpieces".
Critic of these books is not allowed (they don't care how good your arguments are, you just didn't understand it!!!!)

If you want to discuss other books, especially ones not so well known from other countries you are met with blank stares and the statement that the book can't be very good because "I haven't heard about it".

You can see these types in bookstores, often looking superiorly at other customers who don't have their sophisticated taste in books. If they are in a group they can also be seen/heard loudly complaining about the lack of "real, good literature" because in the store are only books for "the common people".

If you meet such persons run as fast as you can because they'll likely know not just everything better than you about books but about everything else too. They will suck the joy out of you!!

I know this all is exaggerated but nothing grates me more than the superior feeling some people get out of the reading matter. And I did met people who where exactly like this - always harping about books other people enjoy.
