YA is such a funny term. I remember reading the post of a well-known publisher in my country that mentionned how flabbergasted he was when the word appeared, since it referenced neither an actual age nor a concrete litterary genre. It's just a weird byproduct of today's recently baptized adults difficulty to man the fuck up in a timely fashion.

I wish they started calling it teenager lit instead of YA so that adults would feel some shame reading it

I wouldn't classify To Kill A Mockingbird, A Separate Peace, or Catcher in the Rye as young adult even though they all have children and teens as main characters.

Unironically Harry Potter. Not much art of any medium has reached those levels of comfy for me. I'm a 22 year old male and still enjoy that series once every year or two and I'm very afraid to admit it.

Your pic kinda nailed it. Flowers for Algernon and that sad Ishiguro book probably fit. Norwegian Wood by Murakami.
Black Swan Green by David Mitchell

The Chronicles of Narnia.
Although I guess they could be more appropriately classified as children's lit...?

Youth should be raised solely on epic poetry.
