You picked some great ones to recommend.<br /><br />I am well out of young adulthood, but I keep reading children's and young adult. Why? Part of it is that I am an elementary school teacher librarian. That doesn't really answer it though since I think part of the reason I have that job is that I love the lit. I think that younger lit deals with the same emotions and thoughts that adult lit does, but it is in a much less cluttered way. Children's and YA authors don't beat around the bush or try to use all kinds of symbolism and complicated stuff. They get to the heart of things. Also, I read for escapism, and for sure I am not mistaking myself for any of the main characters since they are in a completely different time of life. Maybe that answers it.
