Re: How do you feel about reading YA, as an adult?

When Bloomsbury started putting out adult covers for Harry Potter, it occurred to me that people are self-conscious about what other people see them reading. I like to make my own jackets for hardcover books, especially if I know I will be reading them on buses or ferries, as people always sneak a glance at the cover. I have a template for a Teach Yourself series, with such popular titles as Teach Yourself Taxidermy andTeach Yourself Embalming. (As an homage to Monty Python, the author of the series is Nora W. Deensman!) I've had plenty of curious looks, and even a couple of inquiries.
