So, as you should well know, being a reader of this blog and all, I love to read.
I think I’m addicted to it, the hubs will attest to that no doubt.
And maybe I bring this on myself, because I refuse to read book reviews, but sometimes, I think I would like to see books have ratings.
For movies, PG-13 = one F BOMB. Nudity, sex, violence can equate to an R rating.
In music, questionable lyrics come with PARENTAL ADVISORY WARNINGS.
Books have the freedom that movies and music don’t have.
Sometimes I know exactly what I’m about to read, and I accept I’ve chosen to read it.
But most times, a synopsis will only tell you so much, and 60 pages in, the throbbing and thrusting sneaks up on you.
I’m not a prude, not even close, but sometimes it would be nice if someone slapped a warning on a book or even a polite FYI to warn me about the heaving and cleaving, you know ?

I miss your drawings...on a side note i completely agree. And in some cases could it be more specfic, maybe listing the exact pages to I can skip right to them! HA!
i feel the same way, but more about language. i have a hard time with books when there's f-word on every other sentence. seriously, drives me crazy.
totally agree...I think the same thing should be on video games... not for me so much as my son...pretty sure by the time he gets into video games things are gonna get insanely graphic.
