I enjoy other literary genres that I don't necessarily agree with their every aspect. For example, I am a sci fi fan, but I don't like novels that are over-technical or hyper-masculine or too futuristic - I like my sci fi mixed in with present day situations; so I lean towards the likes of Octavia Butler and speculative fiction authors who borderline sci fi. <br /><br />There's A LOT about YA literature that I don't like; but there's also a lot about it I do like - so, it is what it is ... ya know? :-) And that's what I'm saying about Street Lit - just because we may not agree with some of it doesn't mean we have to disrespect or disregard the entire genre as "junk" or "un-literary" - especially us teachers and librarians (imho).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526211277617332881.post-6573341092562187502011-01-07T20:42:58.424-05:002011-01-07T20:42:58.424-05:00Following your journey on "The Street." ...Following your journey on "The Street."
