In today's world it doesn't really mean the same. You can spend all day on your phone reading educational material.
A lot of fiction is time-consuming and has no literary merit.

Yep, YA books swallowed up must of the sub-30 year old reader market. Fiction aimed at kids isn't book club material, it won't impress anyone at wine and cheese events.

I always found the the designation puzzling, like post-secondary school age adults needed simpler starter books, not ready for the real adult books

@1,314,442 (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC)I remember when I was a young boy I was reading this book at school about a kid who was wrongly arrested for murder and subjected to a gruelling interview process which slowly broke them down and falsely confess. I was like 9, I don't know why they had it in the school library. The teacher asked me what it was about because I was engrossed in it and almost took it off me when I explained it but I protested and they agreed to let me read it because I was an advanced reader, but not to put it back when I was done but instead to hand it in.

It enthralled me enough that I still remember about it all these years later, but I was quite young and some things I thought were great then are not great now.
