You're right about Jane Austen books I myself don't care for Dickens' books,
except ATale of Two Cities and The Christmass Carol, because I find them too
sad. I don't like reading about poverty and the mistreatment of children--or
of anyone, for that matter. smile

Dear Gwen,
Some historical fiction, biographies, or classic
authors like Jane Austen and Charles Dickens are fine too. I don't like
books with explicit descriptions of sex either. I do like romance but not as
the
central plot or theme of a book. It is a matter of personal preference and what
you can tolerate. If I think a book is worth reading, I will fast forward or
skip past parts that make me uncomfortable. If you enjoy reading other genres
and subjectss, you shouldn't need to limit yourself to childrens' and religious
books. I am not criticizing those at all since I have read many good books in
those subjects; however, Bookshare has a vast collection that is constantly
updating so there should be something to absorb your interest and reading
pleasure. I hope that I have not offended you in any way.
Chanelle

So for me I'll stick in the religion and
spirituality or children's and I should be relatively fine
thanks.

Some of the problem might be the definition of adult content.
And for that there has never been any agreement. I recently submitted a
book
and I marked it as having adult content, but when it was put into the
library, it is marked as not having adult content. So I don't know if it
was
the admin staff or what. However, like I said, the courts have never been
able to agree upon what is and what isn't so I don't think we will here
either.

You
would think so, but alas I have no adult content selected and I got a
pretty racy novel with sex scenes and it was not ticked as adult, so it
must be kind of hit or miss.
Take
care!

If I go up and make sure my
settings are set to no adult content, does that mean when I go
into the new books or brose any category that only books with only no
adult content will come up or will other books slip
through?
