Banned and Challenged Books 📚

AretoNyx: Please tell me books you enjoy that are banned or challenged. Just books really I do not get into the drama of the authors and who they were or are.

What are some books that are banned and why are they? Even children's books.

AretoNyx: I often look up such http://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10

AretoNyx: Of course some get unbanned or just are challenged now. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_banned_books

AretoNyx: Lol some times I rather audio books than read. Time in reading has only been online for while.

AretoNyx: I hope rest of your day is a good one. Hugs ❤

AretoNyx: That is good to be prepared.

AretoNyx: Here is a book I might get at a library or through apps with books one can read for free.

I only have part of a book found on youtube. It is interesting to see people read aloud or have audio books of all sorts.

AretoNyx: Also this NSFW list. Though are any banned books fully safe for work? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMpj_q5W7FCoQHcndlyaRXEvYszmnO-fQ

graycrow3: there is an unusual series, a quadrilogy, written by anne rice, the vampire author who writes under a non-de-plume (sp) and its a book of BDSM following the format of sleeping beauty, its quite erotic and never ending, you finally get tired of it all, but its not banned, it was in my library system and I jokingly think the pages wore out and they never bothered to get new copies replaced them.

graycrow3: the first book in the series, is the claiming of sleeping beauty

AretoNyx: Yes there are many books like that in some libraries. I can look at such books as a gray asexual and just read for story. I even look at erotic are in some books.

graycrow3: yes, now they are banning the Odyssey in a Massachusetts, , the rest of the Great books of the Western canon will follow, and what will replace them??

AretoNyx: I do not think censorship is about replacing but stopping others from thinking on ideas and facts. Some deem dangerous so much that people can not stop themselves from destruction like a Jekyll and Hyde being violent because many people think such things are only caused by books, movies, and video games. Some want censorship for power over others whatever reasons but those books do still exist.

graycrow3: seems like i read somewhere, that jekyll and hyde which was written by robert louis stevenson? was really about 2 different areas of edinbourgh, scotland, one area was peaceful, urban, gentile and safe, the other area, nearby was poor, diseased, violent, large crminal class, meant to be more allegorical. what is a strange read, is mary shelly's frankenstein, for the 1st sci-fiction book, its very strange, cause and affect, don't make sense and characters have the oddest justifications or none, Odd that it was published a year after jane austen'd death by a 19 year old girl who with her husband percy shelly, were both careless in general and neither worked, as they had pretentions of being upper class and idle.
