Sounds like someone is shaming people who like adult books, rather.

No, it's just saying adult books have heavy topics sometimes
If I say i think apples suck im not necessarily shaming people that eat apples
The “you tell me who’s winning” pretty much shows that that’s what they’re doing though…
what do you think the "who" is referring to?
no it doesn't?
Shut up?
how about you improve your reading comprehension skills instead?
Nerd
beats being illiterate
In the mind of a nerd maybe
i mean i get it; to an illiterate, anyone with basic reading comprehension would look like a nerd.
nerd
it's ok bb
This is basically the “everybody secretly likes pop music” reverse snobbery angle. It’s so difficult to imagine that other people have different tastes from you.
it's not saying everybody likes kids books. it's just saying you shouldn't shame people who do.
I recently read Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea books, really interesting in that first half are kids lit and the second half were written 30 years later for a grown audience.
Best of both worlds! Though I did find the kids books way more fun.
You are reading the wrong adult books if that is your take away from it.
Someone needs to read better adult books.
