I don't fucking care OP. Please cease making shit threads like this, this isn't /v/.
Puerile philistine posts another blog on the internet. I find this obsession with nostalgia and infantalism common among youths. I'm just not sure why they don't give up reading all together and buy coloring books instead. These people don't want to be challenged, so why read at all? She said in the article she doesn't want to have to use a dictionary while reading. That was so disgustingly anti intellectual it must be satire. Very funny article.
>I know at the age of 20 I should be reading serious adult novels, but guess what? I don't wanna
lol
This literally sounds like it was written by a 12 year old

This.
It's /pol/-tier to seek out random shitty websites and finding shit to be outraged about and have your board buddies share in the circlejerk
I'm 20 years old. "High society" wants to pressure me into ditching fun books for Shakespeare and Dostoevsky. They say if you read YA books you're not an adult. Well, to that I say suck on a huge boner. Shitty pee pee. Diarrhea.
Pretentious professor: YA books are for children, not adults.
Me: Not true. You're a big retard. You smell. You're a bozo.
I'm all for people liking what they want and not being embarrassed by it, but this lady seems to have "serious books" confused with old books.
Comparing Harry Potter to something written by Voltaire, or Hugo and calling them slow and archaic doesn't really seem to make any sense.
There are "serious books" that weren't written 100 years ago.
