Thanks, but I've already read it.
For instance, here's a big list of classic action/adventure. No sex and no cursing, and no real 'violence'...but action implies things like cannibals, etc even if it is storytelling suited for children, in some cases you can't avoid everything you might want to avoid..

She
King Solomon's Mines

I don't mind violence unless if it's really gory. I'd prefer to avoid books that are centered on cannibalism, but I can deal with some. Also, I forgot to mention gay or lesbian on the list of things I don't read. Sorry.
Well everything I listed above..you may consider reading, without any reluctance or worry. Its mostly 'classic' fantasy, action, and adventure. No sex, nothing 'really violent'. No unpleasantness of any kind...
Books are one's best friends. They will never let you down! If I was you I would keep well away from the trendy titles that 'everyone else is reading' these days. They aren't getting the full benefit of reading, they aren't stretching their minds. The really valuable stuff is found in older books. These 'e-books series' people are addicted to..vampires and werewolves, etc..are little more than tv shows. Cheap. Thin. Baby food. You can do much better than that! Come back to me sometime if you need some advice on essential reading.
