No.

Just give any recommendation you get a quick little google or just accept that sometimes people recommend a variety of genres and you might occasionally get one you don’t care for as much.

It’s helpful when people say what genre a book is in, but why in gods name would that be necessary when you have unlimited resources to figure that out.

I mean, this might be a wild suggestion, but try just asking the person who recommended it what genre it’s in.

Edit: I also wouldn’t identify something as softcore unless that was relevant to the recommendation. I’m assuming that the person receiving this recommendation is either adult enough to handle it or can simply deduce this type of information for themselves.

Go Ask Alice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz

And that’s just based on the quality of writing. They way they handle their subject matter would put them in the negative.

I reread Shirley Jackson’s The Sundial about a month or two into lockdown and I got a real chuckle out of just how predictable some of the reactions to a possible apocalypse were, especially after my first trip down the toilet paper isle at Walmart.

Vonnegut drew a picture of his own asshole in Breakfast of Champions that people now have tattooed on themselves.

I just don’t think he was taking himself too seriously with that one.

I don’t really care for Cats Craddle. I’m more of a what’s the potato barn person myself (Bluebeard)

I don’t really get reading a book and skipping parts of it. The whole book is the experience even if it has parts you don’t like.p

Like, sure I found the sex scenes in Colleen Hoover’s Verity cringe, but it would be a different book without them so why would I skip them. I was also able to give an accurate review of how absolutely terrible that book was lol.
