Great discussion. I love the C.S. Lewis and Madeleine L'engele quotes so much I just put them on my facebook!

I have always read young adult novels almost exclusively since I became a grown-up. I started when I inherited some children, because we spent a lot of time at the library getting out books, and I realized how awesome they were! It's all story, to the point, without the filler. Great stories, with all the longwinded sex and scenery descriptions removed.
