it depends on the author Patty. and indeed each is to their own.
Just depends on what you consider too much.
NLS books are picked by a committee hence the reason that it takes forever
and some titles that are truly great never make it as NLS books.
Bookshare on the other hand, has no censorship, which is wonderful, and
because of that we have a wide diverse and rather eclectic collection.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Hello
Just an observation. I just went to Web-braille and downloaded maybe four
books, I am not sure. But it seems like the last few times I have looked on
there, nearly every one of their fiction books have notations on them that
they have strong language, violence and explicit descriptions. I mean is
this what we are reading nowadays? I appreciate the warnings are there, and
I did note that a couple of the new books on Bookshare did say "adult
content" which am glad of so I could steer clear of it; but it just makes me
shake my head in amazement at what we as a whole seem to be reading if this
is the kind of thing Nls is putting up on new books lists. Makes me wonder
how they choose what is there. I guess I'll never understand a lot of
things. Absolutely to each his own, in this case.
