A woman was reading Fifty Shades Darker next to me on the train today. I know I am on here and all, but it still seems odd (the page she was on when I noticed was talking about sex toys). Have you read any books you wouldn't want to read in public? Or do you not care?
Books you wouldn't read in public

Can't say I have every really thought of it, I do most of my reading (at least pleasure reading at home. Generally I have a goal when I have gone out in public and it is not reading. I might read outside of my home, but it would likely be somewhere secluded and not so public. (Also I drive no reliable and frequent public transit in my area).
Still, I think there are some books and topics I would rather not read in public. Or at least I would rather the public not know that I am read, be it a false cover or on a kindle.

I don't read any erotica or romance novels in public. Not because I'm embarrassed per se, but I don't exactly want to be turned on in public on a regular basis.

I wouldn't want to be aroused in public either, but then, I doubt I would find any part of Fifty arousing.

I've been reading romance novels since I was 11 and I love to travel. Despite my severe social anxiety I have always read that sort of thing anywhere that I wanted to.

I can't read Anita Blake books in public because I know they are just horrible. But it's like a train wreck I can't look away from.

I would and have read everything except graphic (as in actual pictures) porn.
I was reading a "literary" book once that had a lot of pictures of penises and that was interesting.

Pretty much anything I want so long as the cover and title are reasonably discreet (or I put one of those book socks on it), but I'm not sure I'd read anything that would arouse me because I wouldn't want to be sexually frustrated in public. xD
