Twenty-Something

[author_by_night]

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.

Good point about our generation and television. I think a lot of people do find it easier, of all ages. And maybe they have a point - if they're the sort of college kids who are taking eight classes, have a full time job and a boyfriend, then yeah, it's going to be easier to sit in front of the television and catch the latest Lost episode for half an hour while eating dinner than to sit and read a book for an hour.

But yeah, there are those of us who do have time.
