In UK we have the BBFC that classfifies films for public viewing. These are are as follows (I am sure there are similiar things all over the world).

----------------------------------
U - Universal - anyone can see it.

PG - Parental Guidance. Anyone can see it with Parental Guidance.

12A- Accompanied by Adult. 12 Year old needs to be accompanied by an adult.

15 - anyone 15 and over can see it.

18 - anyone 18 and over 18 can see it.

R18 - Restricted 18.

Suggest rate Books in this fashion?

If so how would you rate your favourite books?

eg.

Lord of the Rings - R18: I had nightmares about the Ringraiths :)

I in my opinion-rating book different than movie because the books require imagine and good knowledge in language vocabulary. In other hand movie focuses in picture and sound put why they raring movie? Because movies have sexuality practice, crime, blood, which can be harm the youngest. Books also can contain same thing but I think rating book is difficult than movies because we need standard to measure that is benefit or harm the youngest reader.

Well, Americans are not exactly known as avid readers so I doubt that it will ever be a big issue here.
