![]() ![]() ![]() But I can now read books with male protagonists without getting bored, and while descriptions of filth might still induce a flinch or two, I can usually soldier through them. Happily, my reading horizons have broadened, although to this day, I believe dialect is something quite easily overdone and very easy to get wrong. ![]() ![]() No, I preferred stories starring female protagonists who were perennially clean (or I never heard otherwise) and spoke the Queen’s English. Also, not being myself a fan of being dirty, I didn’t really like to read stories where the characters were dirty and their dirtiness was a matter of description or discussion. I also refused to read any books that used overly dialectal dialogue (especially if that dialect was in any way backwoods-y). I was fond of thinking of myself as an avid reader, but I refused to read (unless required) any books that had boys as main characters (too boring, according to me, then). When I was a young child, I had pretty distinctive “likes” and “dislikes” when it came to reading. ![]()
