My parents hate vampires, but dad's of the opinion that I need to grow up balanced and well-read so he refuses to censor anything, for which I am very grateful. Every so often mom'll be like "I don't want you reading books about vampires (or serial killers, in the case of The String of Pearls/Sweeney Todd), you should be reading wholesome, life affirming books like [insert title here, usually it's Les Mis even though I've read that three times already]". Mostly I just say "sure, mom," and continue reading whatever it is I'm reading.
