Doc-
If either you or someone else would like to start a thread about halachik and hashkafadik issues concerning books – fiction, non-fiction, Jewish, secular, genres, and so on I would be interested in hearing what people have to say.
Among the topics can be:
-Do any yeshivos or bais yakovs not allow books of any type (secular or otherwise) to be read?
-Any specific Shabbos and Yom tov restrictions?
-Etc.
Mekoros appreciated, if possible.
A request: If you would like to continue a discussion in this vein, please begin a new thread.
Parents:
It occured to me that Doc’s question may not have been rhetorical.
Please – if you have any question whatsoever about a book, check it yourself before OKing it for your kids. My reccomendations are made in good faith, and to the best of my recollection, but I may have missed something, as well as the fact that I am certainly not qualified to be a “book mashgiach”, with my word being the final OK/NOK.
