Vou deixar essa foto e esse link aqui pra vocês pensarem, nesse domingo cinzento: https://medium.com/the-archipelago/why-criticizing-ya-is-sexist-e8076015000a Dá vontade de colar todo o post, mas aqui vai um the best of: "The arguments against adults reading young adult literature tend to be a unique combination of condescension toward teenagers and unexamined sexism toward female-oriented books. It’s well known in the publishing world that young adult literature is a field populated by women. (...) Historically, women have populated the genres aimed at teenagers and children precisely because of a sexist publishing industry that deemed women unable to write adult literary fiction (see the continued disparagement of Jane Austen’s books as “fluffy”)." "To be fair, there is some YA lit that makes me, a person with a degree specializing in the genre, roll my eyes. (...) But there is a large difference between a personal reaction and an understanding of how such a book reaches out and touches people. There is a canyon between personal preference and actual merit." Alguém coloca aquela última frase ali numa camiseta e TAKE MY MONEY.

Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don’t go along with that. The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.
