#bannedbooksweek2023

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.
