Young adult sections in bookstore -- a parallel universe of little-regarded awesomeness

May 1, 2008 9:33am

I second that!

As a recovering bookseller, I can attest to the fact that the YA section is often ignored. But some of the best reading can be found there. I am a big advocate for ignoring the labels and reading what's good. Too many adults get put off of reading a book just because it's labeled as YA, they think it's too young or some other nonsense.

The next time you go to a bookstore, do check out the YA section. I love it.

P.S. I just read Little Brother and it rocks. I'm a bit paranoid now though.
