A couple of days late! 😍

A visually informative exploration of literary censorship across history. It covers a wide range of works, from ancient texts like THE ART OF LOVE by Ovid to modern controversies such as THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas. This breadth ensures that readers gain perspective on how censorship has evolved over centuries. Due to its broad approach, the book often provides only brief summaries of each text‘s controversy rather than in-depth analysis.

I found this entertaining, but also unsettling as more and more book banning occurs around me. I‘m not sure how I feel about the ending.

I was tempted, except nobody but me would see them under my pant legs. 😜

A humorous, clever and satirical story about book censorship. I enjoyed all the references to Orwell's 1984 and other banned books.

Books about the future can be really fun and scary, all at the same time. This poor schlub, whose job is making sure allowed books reflect the views of the current government, is caught in a quandary when he starts to fall in love with the stories that are banned. Was never sure where this book was going, but it felt timely and sometimes realistic.

Only two books finished this last week. While I‘m enjoying being back in the office it is cutting into my reading time. I enjoyed the tagged book. A very timely fairytale.
