I saw that yesterday and was thinking of posting it. If you read all the other opinions in that article, it becomes clear Joel Stein is talking out of his ass. I personally want to ask Joel if we're supposed to be reading 50 Shades of Gray, the other big bestseller people are talking about. Is there some YA out there that is less than stellar? Of course. There's also adult books (like 50 Shades of Gray) that are absolutely terrible. But they fill a need in the readership for some inexplicable reason. Maybe Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray are giving something to their readers that they don't get anywhere else. And that's okay. What's not okay is getting seven friggen' figures for it - when it started out as Twilight fanfiction!

He should have just said adults should read good books, be they YA, Children's, or adult books.
