So far I have never had any experiences with young adult literature. The most I have had is with adult literature which comprises fiction, non-fiction, memoir, short stories and many more. To be frank, after taking Literature in ESL, it is like an eye opener for me on this young adult literature. Since I did not read much on YAL, I often associated it with children’s literature. I thought that the ‘young’ here meant for children and not for grown ups. But now after being exposed bit by bit to YAL, I know what YAL is all about. There’s a lot of nice books under this category and even after reading Teaching Young Adult Literature by Brown and Stephens, I came to know more about it. Oh my! What I have been doing all this while! Anyway it is not too late and it is time for me to go to Kinokuniya and browse some selections. As my mum and dad always said, ‘It is always better know than nothing to know’ and I know it is very true.
