[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 591409, member: 14557"] I haven't read a new book yet. May read if I happen to see it on one of my library visits. I have read Potters so have both of my sons as have most of their friends. With difficult child I read two first for him (he already knew how to read, but those times before his bedtime and him sitting on my lap and me reading to him were far too precious for me to stop just because he learned to read himself :winking:) and rest he read himself. I think that Deathly Hallows was the first book he ever read in English. Made really a difference to his English skills at that time. He was 14 and it was still quite a challenge for him to read something like that in English. easy child is that much younger that he only read translations, but difficult child didn't want to wait with last one. I enjoy fantasy literature a lot, but Potters have always been just okayish for me. Especially with later ones I thought they could had used some serious editing. Victim's of their own popularity i guess. That is why I'm not too interested about Rowling's new book either. I don't mind coarse language on my books or tv. Neither sex, if it is not boring. I do get bored if it seems that only thing they try to do is faze you with those. I mean, I know quite a many worse words than f*** or c***. I'm not entertained by someone just saying that. Also sex for sake of sex is something I enjoy when I'm having it, not when I'm watching or reading it. I haven't read 50 shades at all. I mean, I read Marquis de Sade's books when I was thirteen or fourteen and was bored. I somehow don't think I'm going to be too entertained by badly written (what I have heard) modern version of soft porn now in my early forties. [/QUOTE]
