Meg Rosoff, an American-born author who lives in London, said, “There isn’t an adult who’s going to trot into the children’s section to look for adult literature.”
Um, yes there is! *raises hand* A lot of adults read Harry Potter, of course, and I think that opened the door in some ways. I love the YA section, and I feel it's a much better section now than when I was a teenager-- bookstores around me didn't have a YA section when I was 12!
That said, I like the idea of an "all ages" section. Why discriminate?
