nerdofthehighestcalibre-deactiv asked: My mum keeps on taking your books off me (my brother buys them for me) because "they are unsuitable for young ladies". And it's annoying cos I love your books!!

The part of me that wants to answer like a Problem Page Person thinks you should talk to your mother and communicate with her about what you like about books and reading and how they improve our horizons and knowledge of the world and suchlike, and that it should all end in hugging and a promise from her to let you make your own mistakes and read what you need to read.

The part of me that loves books just thinks you need to hide your books better, and wonders whether putting respectable book-covers on them covering up the ones they already have would do the trick.
