A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (YA but really funny)
any book by Lois Lowry, and almost all of Margaret Peterson Haddix's books are clean
Personally I like Shakespeare

I forgot:
By Elizabeth Gaskell:
Cranford
Wives and Daughters (this one was never completed, but you can tell what direction the story was going. Still it is really good.)

The 100 year old man who disappeared and walked out the window, or something like that.

In response to popular request: I turned it into list form. Complete with pictures of book jackets.

That's an hour of my life I'll never get back, but hopefully you enjoy it.

I dont know if it has been said already, but almost anything written by (the late) mauve binchey was clean and you could sink your teeth right into the characters and it was clean (maybe a kiss here or there, but nothing, nothing else)

I really like making squidoo lenses. I'm just a natural complainer.

Thanks from me too!
Is there a way for people to add to that list if they think of more titles?
Please keep adding, everyone!
Thanks again!

on topic: NOT old classics, please! I am an avid secular books reader, and the old classics are just as full of romance and insidous ideas about love and marriage. I don't know if the fact that they are less physically explicit makes them any better. and some of them don't even get that heter. |
Wait, so how can you be an avid secular books reader? You read them while thinking it's wrong to do so? |
I didn't look at this topic sinceI I last posted - or I would have responded then. I guess you could call me Frummer Than Before in this area - read most of these as a teen (my parents definitely more permissive on these things than I am for my kids!) and screen things much better now.

Many thanks for the great thread and the list that nclude links to all the recommended books!!
Can anyone point me to a book that its literature is not in a high level?
I'm looking for a good book from the list above that I can read. I'm not an English Speaker, until today I read only graded books but now I'm looking for "real" books for me and for my DD (15).
I think I can start reading good books, but not too complicated...
In addition I want to highly recommend a book by Cornelya Funke: The Thief Lord (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thief_Lord)
this is a great and clean book written for young readers, but adults enjoyed it very much, as well.
BTW, this is my first post at this site and I'm very happy I found this forum today!

Mitch Albom has books. They are not your typical story line books; more of a fable with a lesson type. I just read The Timekeeper (I think it's called?)

They are not low cholesterol books for the most part. (IOW, pretty schmaltzy Though to be fair some are just this side of.) I like him a lot, I hear him on the radio but I've got to say, The Timekeeper was weird. Maybe it's just not my genre.

I didn't really get most of it, though I think I got the general lesson
While not fiction, at least Tuesdays with Morrie was good.
