Parents worry "much too much" about what their children are reading, said the author Judy Blume. She argued that they will simply "self-censor" by getting bored of anything they do not understand.

I've wondered and worried about that. If I find a book boring, then is the book boring, or am I self censoring?

When I write down the parts of a book I want to remember, am I self censoring out parts that are important, but I just don't get?
