[QUOTE=Dazrin;4128454]What do you want as far as "clean"? I've tried to recommend items that have relatively little cursing and at least glossed over sex scenes. Some of these have a fair bit of violence though, although I've tried to stay away from ones with graphic violence as much as I can remember.

There are some good fantasy classics that fit this bill:
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Narnia books by CS Lewis (and his other fiction.)

Thanks for the willingness to help. In regards to the question of 'clean' I would say primary concern is that I avoid books with blasphemous language, content which is obviously hostile to or meant to deride Christianity, sexual content, and magic being presented in less than a bad light. Violence I am ok with provided it is not too intense, like horror or gore. Cursing is not desirable but occasional strong language can be appropriate in circumstances and I wouldn't be put off by some of it. For the magic reason, I would be uncomfortable with Tolkien stuff. The Sci Fi books by Lewis were decent and did not have objectionable content, his Narnia stuff doesn't fit the bill.
