(201 posts)Any book I am told that I or no one else should read, I'm going to read it.
My dad was as much of a reader as I am. We were always trading books back and forth. When I was a kid, there would be some where he would tell me. "Now this one is not for you...". You can pretty well guess I read them anyways so I could make up my own mind.
In the 90s there was a HUGE stink over American Psycho. No one should read this, it should be banned, etc, Of course I had to read it. It's a very disturbing book, but I've certainly read worse. As far as American Psycho, it could be interpreted in so many ways that even though I wouldn't recommend it (unless you have a strong stomach), I wouldn't ban it.
I have been horrified by all the anti-CRT crap, which has been evolving into banning books, that's been going on. This is NOT America and needs to be stopped.
