I haven't read Thirteen Reasons Why yet so I'm not quite sure what it's about, but it's on the NYT bestsellers list, again. And I thought it would be too much for my YA section. Silly me. Now it looks like I'm adding it to my list of stuff that I should have read when I first saw it. And to think I had an ARC of this one.
This is an interesting article. It's about how many college students aren't reading "controversial" books anymore. They'd rather read Twilight and the like. (As a disclaimer, I read and own all the series and didn't think it was too bad the first time I read it, but I don't think I'd waste my time reading them again.) In college I didn't read anything that controversial, I think I covered that senior year of high school. Maybe I read too many books on Transcendentalism and Feminist theory but that's about it. I don't think I read much fiction either. I don't think I read much outside of what was required for class, actually.
