Lately I've been sucked into the highly underrated and overly popular genre of young adult fiction. I don't really know why. It is simple, easy to read and fun. Sometimes you even find something profound lurking in the pages. I have been meaning to read the classics but i keep putting it off, and with school breathing down my neck i may not read anything new for a while. I don't just like simple books though, i love the Inkheart heart trilogy, which (if you haven't attempted to read it) makes you work to read it. Cornelia Funke is very descriptive and i know this turns some people off, but in my opinion description and narrative are wonderful things, not just something to be sprinkled here and there so the story doesn't end up as just a collection of dialogue. Reading equals better writing, this is obvious, but you have to define "Better" first.
