Kids who love reading will read whatever they want....perhaps not at home, but at school, from friends, at friends houses, even at the (gasp!) library.

With the crap on TV......they could be doing worse.
I agree. There is so much more to influence the youth of today that it is probably nigh on impossible to shield them from anything, no matter how hard one tries.

All you can hope for is that they are comfortable enough to ask questions regarding a book's contents -- and that you are equally comfortable in responding.
