Come on, I'm sure it's not as if you've never read an "grown up" book before!

Have you ever heard of the movie &...Hey Ms. Diana,<br /><br />Have you ever heard of the movie "Another Country" starring Rupert Everett and a young Colin Firth from 1984? It's not sci-fi, but it is really intriguing in that it is set in a boy's boarding school in the 30's, and it deals with issues like sexuality, adolescence and the english class system, all with great characters and stuff along those lines. You can't get it on netflix, unfortunately, so you have to go with the DVD, which you can order on Amazon. Trust me, it is an excellent movie that is really underrated. Go check it out! There's not that many sex scenes in it though, but I really think that it is an adult movie (that appeals to teens) that you should check out yourself. <br /><br />I love your blog too, but I think you should not just stick to YA and Middle-Grade (I'm 17 and I read a lot of adult novels, but I don't mind a good YA), and that you should really broaden your horizons and read adult fiction, since it can be just as cool as YA and stuff (Despite the fact that you don't really like sex or stuff along those lines, I think you can deal with it if the book is very well written, heck, Forever is a YA novel by Judy Blume and it is very frank in talking about stuff.). Why not start off with "Swamplandia!" by Karen Russell, since it deals with teens growing up in an alligator-wrestling park in Florida and one of them heads down to the underworld to go rescue someone. Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, really good, go read it.<br /><br />And no, I am not saying that you should get rid of YA and Middle Grade (I don't even know WTH "Middle Grade" means, to be honest.), it's just that...you should push yourself outside of your comfort zone and likes, as you never may know what you may encounter. So, please, try reading some more adult novels, please. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483631915934179039noreply@blogger.com
