I love YA like Harry Potter, the Tiffany books from Terry Pratchett, The Hunger Games series. I am in the middle of a Robert Asprin "Myth" marathon on my Sony reader at the moment. (Balances out the serial killer novel I am listening to on my commute: Rule of Nine). I just gifted my wife with "Virals" the YA book by Kathy Reichs.

No judgement here for reading YA books.
I keep meaning to get into Pratchett. I hear so many good things...constantly! I loved The Hunger Games too, one of the best books I've read this year. I also agree with your analogy of books to food. YA does a good job of offsetting my non-fiction tastes.

@jhempel24: Exactly!
