Books are a form of media, and can be used as a mode of propagation. Books about mathematics, science, programming languages, punctuation, vocabulary, etc are safe enough to be shared with children, but it's books in the literature, history, and sociology categories that need to be reviewed by parents first, to make sure that the education system isn't trying to molest their brains.
