I have definitely made mistakes about choosing books. I don't believe in censoring (I was furious when the church newsletter warned parents about the Pullman books, as it did with DaVinci Code a few years ago). However, I picked one "coming of age" or "memoir" book that I'm too embarrassed to even list on this for DS13 a couple years ago. Luckily, DH picked it up and browsed through it and found very graphic stuff, which my DS was not mature enough to be reading. I definitely am more careful now.
Ania--I loved Curious Incident...DS picks out his own books now, and as long as they're mainstream and don't have really dark stuff, I'm ok with it.
