Sorry it is taking me forever and a day to post my #booktalk (which I still haven't finished). I have read two books since my last post. I have spotty internet, so I am going to try my best to have them up by the end of the week.
But if you didn't know already it is Banned Book Week. Basically the reading community is shedding light on the crazy notation of censorship in literature. There is no censorship in life so why would you ban reality? I have no idea.
The just banned/challenged (whatever they call it now) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Now that is crazy! So sorry people with terminal illnesses, you are not allow to share you story, fiction or otherwise. It is not proper.
If you look at the list of banned books, most of them are required reads for any basic English class (even the Hunger Games was on it, don't even get me started.) They are classics for a reason...sorry that you want to live in a bubble of fakeness. Maybe if more people took the time to read, the world wouldn't be so messed up. I don't know just a thought.
Read whatever you like. There is always something to learn from books, no matter how big or small. Reading is a powerful thing. It should not be feared but celebrated!
Happy Reading
