"And Tango Makes Three" - I got it for my grandkids, to start them early on exercising their freedom to read - and their social justice muscles! And it's so cute! www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

The Diary of a Young Girl By Anne Frank

Honestly am surprised that they confined it to fiction. I’m surprised that they don’t ban anything related to climate, dwindling water resources, evolution etc…in other words, our reality

Likewise, good luck with handmaid’s tale. It’s already a tv series. Weirdly, this felt like sci-fi when it was published but now we’re racing to the bottom in any case ♥️♥️♥️ Margret Atwood

Wow. They sure dragged out anthony burgess in list posted as reply To your post. i really enjoy his works, but Clockwork orange wasn’t my favorite, but am glad I read it. It was assigned reading in high school btw.

Ulysses by James Joyce. Though tame by today’s standards, it was banned and burned under the Comstock Act until “United States v One Book called Ulysses” ruled it non-obscene in 1932. This is an old fight. Keep fighting!

Beloved by Toni Morrison

All of them!

Squeeee! I love this!!!

I'm not finished reading them yet.

All of them.

Huckleberry Finn

In the book 1984, Big Brother uses New Speak to take away language that encourages critical thinking. In our world I think the resistance is using cryptic language that slow witted MAGA doesn't understand. The same goes for sarcasm which is like verbal cryptography to the slow witted.

No. You. Don't. Care to prove me wrong?

I have lots of favorites but the most mind boggling to me is The Diary of Anne Frank. I first read it in 7th grade.

I'm currently reading "Two Boys Kissing." It's ok.

I genuinely can't understand it either. I read most of those books in middle school and nobody blinked an eye. Censorship is the worst.

Crazy, right?

Huckleberry Finn.

Anything by Judy Blume

So many banned books were “required reading” when I was in high school… so far we have fallen.

Fahrenheit 451

ABBIE HOFFMAN 'S, "STEAL THIS BOOK" SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST. WE NEED ACTIVISTS & REVOLUTIONARIES NOT LAWYERS.

The Handmaid’s Tale

A week isn’t enough to read all my favorite picture books that have been banned/challenged. So here is a month’s worth!

It is Banned Book Week. I offer an extensive collection in my bookshop. Please talk a look and read something they don't want you to. bookshop.org/shop/MikeRem...

1984

To Kill a Mockingbird

I just read 19 minutes by Jodi Picoult about a school shooting, excellent and timely given the proliferation of school shootings in the US.

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Wit and Wisdom of Osama Bin Laden. A greatly misunderstood environmentalist.

* Unsure if on any ban list, but wouldn't be surprised!
