    Hey, I'm 45 and loved the Hunger Games, read all the Twilight books (though I still have mixed feelings about some of the messages there) and have enjoyed a number of other books that fall into the YA category.
    If they are well written and tell a good story, no reason not to read them.

    The one I've really enjoyed most recently is "The Host" by Stephanie Myers - I thought this was much better than all the Twilight books.

    Don't feel bad! I have a close friend who is focusing her MA in literature on YA lit.

    Anyone else here like me? Should I stop reading them?

    I read lots of things, and IMO there is zero shame in enjoying YA fiction :). I have no intention of ever growing out of it. They're such a simple pleasure.

    So yea, Im 22 and I love my YA books! Dystopian novels are my favorite, well Im no longer 17 which the target audience mostly are. Anyone else here like me? Should I stop reading them? Not sure if I will ever grow out of them lol

    I love YA books and probably always will. If you like dystopian novels, have you tried The Uglies series?

    oh you sweet summer child ;)

    There's nothing wrong with reading YA at any age! YA lit isn't any more lowbrow, immature, shallow or poorly written than so called adult fiction. Some of my all-time favorite fiction is YA and I'm 28.
