3. I've only read 9... Thanks book banners... for list of books I need to read

[hlthe2b]

5. OMG... I had to google why on earth, "the Call of the Wild"... a favorite of mine

Per Wiki: The novel was banned in 1929 in Italy and Yugoslavia, supposedly because of (Jack) London's openly socialist views. In 1933 it was burned by the Nazi Party for similar reasons.

These GD fascists Trumpers... I am more and more disgusted every day.

10. I read it when I was 10. A friend gave me that and

the Arabian Nights for my birthday. Maybe that explains a few things. As the twig is bent. . .

8. The Kite Runner

One of my favorite books! Devastating story.

He also wrote A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Now I have a reading list!

[Walleye]

11. These kids are gonna be in conversations in college and have no idea what anybody's talking about

There is so much of American culture wrapped up in those books. How is anybody who goes to Florida high school expected to understand any literary references by anybody at this point

[rickford66]

12. It's those Banana Republic stores causing this.

[IjustDontlikeRepugs]

16. These stupid parents, these stupid people...meanwhile their kids are on the internet seeing and

doing who the fuck knows what

[lame54]

17. Aka - the must read list

[BSdetect]

18. Full on fascism eats itself. Hilarious idea in the age of the internet.

Notice there is no porn ban.

[scarletlib]

19. No reason to ban any books.

The ultra right Christians believe Harry Potter condones witchcraft (like that’s a bad thing.)
