Re: Young Adult Literature, I still don't get it (a rant)

That whole teens reading books about teens largely comes from the publishers, I think. When I was a pre-teen/teen, YA didn't exist as the huge market we have today, it was just... books more aimed at coming-of-age themes, or more complex versions of childrens' literature, that sort of thing. But publishers like neat categories and according to them, YA is pretty strictly defined by the age of the characters.

*shrug* I know, it's dumb. New Adult is even stupider, if you ask me. It's like a tacit acknowledgement that lots of college age and above readers want books with adult characters and sex, but at the maturity and reading comprehension level of Twilight.
