Pickpick

(1925) It's a historical novel based on the life of an 18th century political financier. Mixed feelings about this one: blown away by its detail, exhausted by its Sturm und Drang; unsettled by antisemitic cliches I had expected to be undermined; drained by the prose which tested my German skills.

Banned by the Nazis because Feuchtwanger was a Jew and criticized Nazis. Banned in Boston because, I don't know, sex probably.

Happy Banned Books Week! 🎉

Taking a break from Spooktober puzzles to celebrate Banned Books Week! (Or maybe this is the scariest puzzle of all.)

Banned Books Bibliophile, 500 pieces, art by Jane Mount, by Chronicle Books which is donating a percentage of the proceeds to PEN America. And some of the banned books that I own.

Michreader3 The Hunger Games is banned? I did not know that. Will be one of my most loved books always 2mo
KaylasReadingNook Yes! Glad you‘re taking the week as well to ‘celebrate‘ 😄 2mo
KaylasReadingNook @Michreader3 Sadly yes it‘s banned, but it is such a wonderful series! Are you excited for the upcoming movie? 😄 2mo

wanderinglynn @Michreader3 yes, it has been on the frequently challenged top 10 list a few years: https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10/archive 2mo
Michreader3 @KaylasReadingNook I‘m so excited!! Cant wait. Which movie was your favorite? 2mo
KaylasReadingNook @Michreader3 same!! Oh goodness probably the first one because it was just the original idea of the games and the challenging of the capital 😂 what about you?? 2mo
Michreader3 @KaylasReadingNook Yes I love that one, for me though probably Catching Fire! I loved the plot twist of them getting thrown back into the games and I feel like it really set the whole rebellion in motion 2mo
KaylasReadingNook @Michreader3 oh yes I understand that! It was such a catalyst, especially when they had to shut down the interviews because the tributes banned together to try and stop the games. It was a unique twist! 2mo

One of my all-time favourite books is on the banned books list. I'm really enjoying this Audible edition during #bannedbooksweek2023
I fully support #freedomtoread and endorse all endeavours to turn the tide on archaic censorship.

The whole point of writing and literature is to open our minds to new thoughts and experiences we might not ordinarily have access to. ⬇️

AllDebooks Whole worlds, characters, creatures, adventures, ideas and knowledge await the turn of a page. There is no such thing as a prescribed reading list. Each reader has the ability to read and understand text, forming their own opinions, contextualising and debating. All of this helps make us more compassionate, empathetic people. Reading feeds our very humanity, or it should.
The banned books in America makes me sick to my stomach. ⬇️

AllDebooks We need to fight this and stop the rot now. I think a child would be done more harm from elitist, narrow-minded, toxic views of what's 'normal', than they would reading a book that makes them think. See Alan Cummings video on how his book about his 2 dogs was banned because they have 2 Dads!!

Look to see how you can help and get involved.
