It's actually a dystopia set in a near future after conservative Christians stage a coup against the United States. They finally get to do what we all know Christians have wanted all along: turn all women into sex/baby rearing slaves.

How delusional must one be to believe that is close to being a reality in the US. ESPECIALLY since conservatives keep ceding and ceding their Christian beliefs, and now basically only are firm on their economic views. The only Christian value mainline conservatives still have in common for the most part is being pro-life, and some even are willing to bend slightly if a woman was raped.

Boomers read, but only what has been vetted by their peers and favored media personalities as being acceptable.

The Metamorphosis is a poorly-delivered runt of an idea which only appeals to small-minded individuals who think critics are the voice of good taste. Any "Goosebumps" children's book has tighter writing, better pacing, and bigger stakes. Its brevity is its only redeeming quality.

I don't need to cope. I long ago internalized: "Don't try to understand women; women understand women; and women hate women".

There was a quote from Hollaback Homme a while ago about romantic love requiring the ability to project an idealized version of the entire sex onto a partner, and how repeated sexual contact makes that impossible for women. Trying to understand women is the flip side to that.

Yeah right, it's the "boomers" who don't read or only read what their told to and not the stupid kiddies who play around on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, tick-tock, musically, vine, and Twitch all day. Fuck off.
Growing up, TV was a communal thing; you watched it with your family and you talked about all the recent episodes with kids during recess and the guys after work (we liked to talk about Cheers and Miami Vice as kids, but strictly speaking, we shouldn't have been watching that sort of stuff.)
Yeah sure there were some couch-potatoes who just watched TV all day (mostly old guys) but most people just watched a couple of shows and turned it off.
Other than TV and radio there was nothing else to mindlessly do that didn't involve TALKING to someone (our Social media was called the mall! It was almost as much of a waste of time but at least mall-rats didn't have their face stuck in front of a screen all day!).
Besides video games (which didn't take too much of our lives up either unlike nowadays), there was nothing to distract us. We went fishing, played real life games, and generally just enjoyed being outside.
You know what else we did? READ. Us kids were really into Tolkien, even the rocker types I liked hanging around with read that sort of stuff. C.S. Lewis, of course, was another good writer we read. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was something my older brother swore by and reading it I ENVIED him so much (excellent book please read it). He also read stuff like Steppenwolf but I can't say that I've gotten around to reading that yet. My family was fortunate enough to have the Encyclopædia Britannica set, that was basically our Wikipedia (we and most people also got the info we wanted from the library. I'll admit that information being available to more people is a good thing but the library was a cool place to hang out and kids don't do that enough these days). My dad loved true crime stuff and books like All The Presidents Men (Never read it but the film was amazing). I could go on but this comment is already way to long and I'm rambling right now.
Point is, the older generations (I'm not a boomer but you kids use that term every which way nowadays to talk about us older guys) read way more books than you guys ever did (unless, maybe, you happen to count YA stuff).

It is.
It has a really unique style of storytelling based on the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual, but instead of statistics and gameplay data it slowly unfurls 健康クロス's vision of a dark, erotic utopia.
If you can read Japanese (or are willing to suffer through some bad translations) and have any interest in fantasy or erotica I heartily recommend it. The physical versions have some additional text and illustrations, but for me nothing beats the original web version.

Think about YA for a moment. It's a perfectly alluring premise.
Young Adult
"For adults and those who think young."
"For the youthful and the worldwise."
This genre is packaged as a fount of wisdom and virtue. The young girl who picks up a novel from the YA section believes she is crossing a bridge from her youthful inexperience in adulthood. The middle aged woman who picks up a YA wants a rearview mirror with which to reclaim her own youth. It's genius.
Independent of the marketting, the YA genre has become centered on community. The authors are all connected with each other, first by social media, second by a complicated net of recommendations, mutual promotions and assorted fellations. They borrow each other's plot structures, character patterns, and conflicts. remember, the writers fall into the category of "middle aged women." It's a recursive game of telephone and the results are sold as a semblance of reality.
YA creates its own reality, and it immunizes itself against dissent. Like a living organism rejecting a pathogen, the YA community rejects stories that reflect too deeply on what it means to be human, a woman, or a girl. They reject stories that conflict with the grand tacit agreements that make up the bulk of YA storytelling. Now especially, fluffy depictions of alternative lifestyles devoid of internal conflict are the norm. It's a beautiful false reality women have been spoon-fed for decades. The real world does not function the way it does in a YA novel, but YA is so familiar and attractive to them that they cannot overcome the pain of rowing out of it. They MUST come back to the world of YA, to allow themselves to be shaped by the YA author circles. Maybe it's the female equivalent of a coom addiction.

Really the fault lies with publishers and writers for failing to adapt the qualities of literature for the more broadly educated public last century.

Kek, interesting to hear about the cliquishness of the industry itself but that doesn’t explain the phenomenon from the perspective of the reader.
The main explanations you provided for grown adults reading YA were:
>rearview mirror with which to reclaim lost youth
>beautiful and alluring false reality to indulge in as an escape
Is that enough for women to justify the humiliation of wasting hours upon hours consuming content intended for tweens? We’re missing something here.
An idea: the adult YA reader is subconsciously aware that she is mentally more similar to the intended audience of the book than to the adult men around her. She turns to YA as a socially-acceptable way to rebel against the prevailing feminist culture that asserts that she is in every way the equal of those men. Reading YA provides her a way to temporarily strip off her mask and take up her rightful place in the hierarchy. This ‘recharging’ effect would help explain the relatively common occurrence of the 20-30-something woman with a full-time job and other obligations who is able to get through 100+ YA novels a year.

I saw a booktube video once where the presenter was talking with her sister, a YA reader in her 30s. The YA sister basically confirmed this - she said that she reads as an escape, so she's wanting to get away from real-world difficulties and wants something she can gulp down without any reading complexities. The way she described it made it sound like a kind of nostalgia addiction, an adult pining to be back in the more simplistic world of a teenager.

This may be part of it. A more charitable explanation might take into account the high (and rapidly declining)social value attached to their feminine beauty.
In any novel, the physicality of the characters is secondary to their actions and their thoughts. For a woman who can no longer look like a YA protagonist, perhaps thinking and behaving like one can alleviate some of the existential dread of aging.
>to rebel against the prevailing feminist culture that asserts that she is in every way the equal of those men.
I'm not sure about this one. The characters may have weak agency on the whole, but YA is usually absurdly feminist(in the most stereotypical ways).
>woman with a full-time job and other obligations who is able to get through 100+ YA novels a year.
This phenomena is extremely interesting as has a lot to do with the way YA is written. Even YA books that are lauded for being "beautifully written" are designed to be skimmed. In fact, to get the best experience, you have to read as quickly as you can. Any given paragraph will contain only 1-3 ideas. The sentences within each paragraph are extremely redundant, but if you gloss past the paragraph long enough to absorb even one of those ideas, you have everything you need to understand what's happening. It's a totally different animal from most other literature.

I've noticed a trend with this sort of thing - women always assume the author has a positive or affirmative view of whatever they write in their books. They can't comprehend writing something vulgar and awful, not because you agree with it, but because it's an unspoken indictment of something you've witnessed, or just a difficult concept being explored with an author's neutrality. I've noticed that when women write about 'issues' (see any booker prize shortlist, it's full of real-world issue crap, mostly about identity and immigration) they withhold the grotesque, and instead hit you in the face with very obvious "this thing is bad" language. This is why I feel thatas long as women always come into literature with this mindset of author-reader 'solidarity' they'll never write anything visceral. Blood meridian written by a woman would tell us exactly why the characters were evil, instead of letting them be evil.

Peak feminine literary review. It has everything:
