I had the same problem. I had this mental bias against "YA" titles. I guess I just had this feeling that only teenagers should be enjoying them -- but then I realized that Young Adult doesn't necessarily mean only for young adults, but usually means about young adults. The cast of characters are usually teenagers, and as many times as I've read Enders Game, I should have known I didn't mind a story about kids.

Some of these Young Adult novels have been the best stories I've read in years.

Just finished another one called A Crack In The Sky that seems written about a future we could be headed towards.
