My primary reading these days actually falls in the Young Adult camp. While I don't consider To Kill a Mockingbird YA, it is read as such. But there is some great YA science fiction. City of Ember was beautiful, along with its sequel People of Sparks. A bad movie, made about $3.00 in theaters; it boggles my mind why Hollywood has gone so insane over The Hunger Games giving daily updates for which hot young actor is playing which of the 2 million characters.

All three of these books are fairly heavy. Ranging from melancholy (Mockingbird) to downright depressing (Hunger Games).

There's a lot of YA literature out there that explores a range of emotions, and if you don't like graphic sex or lots of swearing, it's a good genre to find quality literature.
