I'm not sure it's quite the meaning you want.

If I say 'that isn't in accordance with my interests', it has a sense of 'financial interests', or 'things which benefit me materially'.

Hi Pieanne,

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm looking for something similar, because it is often repeated in the text and in different contexts. I think I'll be able to use your suggestion in some contexts.

Thanks, it's a good idea to try with the range of interests

I'm not sure 'evade' would fit; maybe 'books outside their range of interest'.

But it's fine to say 'books that don't interest them'.

MrP
