Classics

[in_the_attic]

Hello!

I have a rather odd question: Does anyone else find reading classics easier to read than reading contemporary fiction, young-adult, or anything modern? I can relate to the characters better in a classics, the stories seem more realistic, and every time I try to read something new, I end up throwing the book away, especially young-adult books. The situations just don't seem real.

It'd be nice to know if anyone else is like this! :)

YA is very specifically written for pre-teen audiences.

Really?! I thought young-adult meant, you know, for young-adults, not for tweens. -_- How foolish!

Thanks for the recommendations! I have not heard of any of those books before. I think I'll look them up. :)

Pre-teens are young adults. An adult is anyone of 18 years or older. But the content of so many YA books is mostly for 12-13 year-olds. Girls reach puberty much younger these days, often at 11.
