Twenty-Something
So lady_sarai and I were talking earlier about some of our beloved teens' books, and I had a thought.
Are there any books for us twenty-somethings?
I can read books about sixteen year olds, and about forty year olds - not a problem. But there seems to be a lack of books written about the 18-25 age group. That, or I just haven't found those books. The books I have found that involved kids my age were mostly beach reads, like Grecian Holiday and Spanish Holiday.
I dunno, I would just like to read about someone in that age gap for once. Someone who is in college, just out of college, or was never in college - either way, trying to find their place. Or just something unrelated, but with people who are closer to my age and easier to relate to.
Just some thoughts. :) I would love to read a Sisterhood of the Travelng Pants type book or a Ya Ya Sisterhood type book - with characters someone my age can more easily relate to.

And I love Traveling Pants too, even if they are younger for me. And to be fair, in the last one, they were starting college. But still, it would be nice to read about more my age group as well. Especially friendship fics - why is it that we 18-25's only, according to the literary and media world, care about who we're sleeping with or lack thereof?
