when I read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, sometime in the early 70s. I was in my mid-20s, so I suspect I was no longer a "young adult" at that point. I did very much enjoy the book, though.

On second thought, I read Neil Gaimon's The Ocean at the End of the Lane some months back - I guess that book is considered YA in some circles. It was a wonderful, lovely book, in any case.

However, I'm not likely to come across any YA novels in my favorite genre, which is Scandinavian crime novels.
