I too used books to survive, and I made a policy to never ban a book in my house- my loose rule is, if you're reading it and able to discuss the book, it's themes, what you think /feel about it, what you disagree with, etc. it's fair game. My teens are voracious readers, and we have excellent conversations about what we're all reading. They also know I'm not going to press about any one particular book, generally, which makes reading anything feel pretty safe.

Short story anthologies are what preserved my reading habit for years, I highly recommend them!

I just see people who did what worked for them and hurt none. The world is hard enough, let people like silly things. I hope they're delighted!

"pickiness" can also be a disability, an aspect of a disability, or a (treatable) condition. It's not a moral failing, and being judged for it is harmful. People are not superior for what they do or do not eat.
