what have I done, /lit/? Bradbury is better than all the other YA shit she was reading but he's still low-brow and none of his stuff has any literary merit. Are there any actually good writers I can introduce her to?

Anons, how much of chapter 8 of "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler..." can I skip for later?
I like the prose and all, but I can't convince myself to read more than
a paragraph or two without feeling like I need to stop and contemplate
the damn thing for an hour. I just wanna get to the next bit,
but I still wanna know how they get to the next book.
I can't bring myself to start any new books until I've finished this one, but it's not as light and
cozy as it was at the start.
