See @TheLudicReader 's original post to see what color reader you are. I'm not mad at my results. It will be fun to see what further recommendations I get.

Thanks for the fun, Christie

Ruthiella I was 30% blue! Green must be nonfiction, because that was my lowest percentage. 😅 2w

I chose this book to satisfy a reading challenge that my cousin gave me - it counts as a graphic novel, yeah? I‘ve seen the title pop up on banned book lists and like most banned books, I think this ought to be mandatory reading. I‘m not usually one for graphic novels or comics, it‘s just too much visual clutter for me, but this book was absolutely brilliant and the images were essential. Definitely tore my heart out a thousand times.

“We sang as we walked, all of us, singing a hundred different songs, and the Nazis let us sing. Another small mercy. Or perhaps they too missed the way the world had been before the war.”

Night | Elie Wiesel

We are starting Night today in the 10th grade.One of the students‘ tasks is to explain what they think the quotes on this Preface Work paper, as well as chose their own quote.
My choice to explain: “‘The opposite of love is not hate, it‘s indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it‘s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it‘s indifference. And the opposite of life, is not death, it‘s indifference.”‘ Timely read. #resistance

GingerAntics Such a poignant read for our times. 2mo

#OffMyShelf “Banned book”

In 2022 A Tennessee school district banned this Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic memoir about the Holocaust due to “inappropriate language” and an illustration of a nude woman.

Spiegelman‘s parents were both survivors of Auschwitz. This memoir is his father‘s story and also coming to terms with their relationship; a child of survivors. I‘m not a fan of graphic novels, I find them hard to parse. But this was powerful.

Leftcoastzen I love this book. 2mo
Ruthiella @Leftcoastzen I was surprised by it because I normally have trouble with graphic stories. I often have a struggle whether to look at the pictures or the text first. But not here. 2mo
Leftcoastzen It‘s a harsh masterpiece. 2mo

Bookwomble There was one US school district that banned it because of drawings of male genitalia - on cartoon mice - depicted as concentration camp victims 🤦🏻‍♂️ 2mo
