Cussing/Cursing in Books: Solutions

 Now a days books seem to have much more colorful language than they used to. Some readers are uncomfortable with such language, and cannot read a book without their conscience being troubled.

There are several ways to get around this.

1. Don't read the book! Yeah, this one is pretty boring, but if the cussing/cursing is extensive, I suggest not reading it (same goes for movies, don't see it). If someone is pushing you into reading it, then it doesn't matter how they might judge you. If you have something that bothers you, avoid it. Standards you have, make sure they are applied.
2. Borrow it from the library, that way if you get uneasy while reading it, no harm done and no money wasted. Just return it at the earliest time possible.
3. White out. Some of you may hate me for suggesting this, but it really works. You can do it yourself, chapter by chapter (or the book as a whole at once) or get a friend to white it out. My seventh grade literature teacher did this to one of our books because a few sentences were to mature for us. I was still able to understand what was happening, so it didn't detract from the book. 

Won't make sense if you use white out because cussing/cursing is frequent in the way the character(s) talk/think? As I mentioned before, it may be a good idea to forget that book and find another one that interests you that doesn't have that sort of content.

    E.g The series The Loners by Lex Thomas has cussing quite frequently in the first half of the book. By the second half it was not as bad. The book was good and I would like to finish the trilogy, but it's not high on my TBR list. 

There you have it! Three solutions for the colorful language being used in books. If you happen to have anymore, feel free to leave a comment!
