Reading Maggie’s post today made me curious to see what books are banned and why. There are tons of websites. I have put down a few.
I think this might be reading list like it was for Maggie!

Banned? Most of those were required reading in high school and college and considered classics. People have become so unintelligent.

That is such a great way to describe it. Parents think that if they don’t let their kids read the f-word in a book they won’t use it. Hahahaha! If they only walked down a highschool corridor! I was a high school teacher and the things kids say like it is nothing now compared to when I was a teen is amazingly horrible! Reading the n-word is like reading Dr. Seuss to them.

Wow, definitely a few featured I’d like to add to my list. I wonder if banning actually works or makes people want to read them more 🤔 . KL ❤️

I think it depends on why it was banned. I mean Charlottes Webb because animals talk? Have they read Animal Farm? Have they watched cartoons? I think that literature is the one place where real history can be learned. Yeah, okay Fifty Shades of Gray, but who knows? I didn’t read it but if you were in a bad relationship you might find help in it.

I am pleased you checked out some of the banned and challenged books. There is a video circulating on social media of a modern day book burning. It sickens me. Many of the books on the lists you posted were required reading when I was in high school. I hope you will find time to add a few to your reading list. I plan to.

I have read many on the lists. Makes me want to go back and reread to find out what I was missing.
Infuriating!

I think banning books is just part of the whole package of things to do if you belong to the cult of “NO”. I may be wrong but it is more than scary.
