Expect to find curse words, nudity, (occasionally explicit) talk of sex, and angry ranting, but NEVER slurs or sexually violent language. I use TW when I am aware of the need and on request.

The last 10 books I bought for myself from Amazon were:
Mother to Mother by Sindiwe Magona
California Native Plants for the Garden by Carol Bornstein, David Fross, and Bart O'Brien
The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer
Pages for You by Sylvia Brownrigg
S.: A Novel about the Balkans by Slavenka Drakulić
The Enormous Room by e. e. cummings
You Can't Get Lost in Cape Town by Zoë Wicomb
Love and Vertigo by Hsu-Ming Teo
The Deadwood Beetle by Mylène Dressler
Memoirs of Hardrian by Marguerite Yourcenar
I haven't yet received the Sindiwe Magona book in the mail (I just ordered it yesterday). I've received the others, but I haven't yet read the Wicomb, Teo, or Yourcenar books. I did read the others already.

But sometimes the books I buy for my friends are even more revealing about me than the ones I buy for myself, because I tend to buy my own very favorite books for my friends. The last 10 books I bought for my friends from Amazon were:
As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann (for three different people)
A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You: Stories by Amy Bloom (for two different people)
When I Was Five I Killed Myself by Howard Buten (for two different people)
The Carnal Prayer Mat by Li Yu (for two different people)
On Subbing: The First Four Years by Dave Roche (for two different people)
The Female Man by Joanna Russ (for two different people)
Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi
The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again) by Andy Warhol
The Mute's Soliloquy: A Memoir by Pramoedya Ananta Toer
