Because someone thought it was a good idea when it wasn't..

Frankly, I don't see what a discussion of a YA book offers an adult, but I do understand that's just my opinion. I'll even make an exception for The Golden Compass, but for the reason that it's not light. I won't bother to read it again, however.

It depends on the book in question. I've read YA that were more A then Y and would make for a good discussion. I've also read adult books that would make a terrible discussion (take this month's book for terrible).
