Library Fangirl

The only thing more embarrassing than catching a guy on the plane looking at pornography on his computer is seeing a guy on the plane reading “The Hunger Games.” Or a Twilight book. Or Harry Potter. The only time I’m O.K. with an adult holding a children’s book is if he’s moving his mouth as he reads. 

*Blink*  Waitaminute… WHAT?  D:{

Such ignorant, shortsighted, and closed-minded views like the one expressed in this article infuriate me.  *Tears clumps of hair out*  Spewing arrogant claims that “kid” books aren’t worth the attention of adults after admitting that YOU HAVEN’T EVEN READ ANY OF IT shows how completely ignorant and uninformed you actually are about YA literature.

On the flip side, Patricia McCormick expresses the completely opposite (and refreshing) viewpoint in her own opinion article on the matter: Authors Taking Risks Isn’t Kid Stuff, which I sincerely hope more people take seriously than they do Mr. Stein.
