No surprises here, except for my neighbors in WI. I may need to float some banned books across the river. 😒

Tamra @JenReadsAlot we could partner in a Banned Books LFL. 😃 I‘m tempted to drive around adding them to LFLs. (edited) 6d

daena @Tamra love that idea! 6d

dabbe @BarbaraJean I live here, and so am I! Knowing us, though, we probably didn't make our numbers available for public viewing. 🙄 6d

Tamra @dabbe 😅 I hope not! Unfortunately a handful of loud voices drown out common sense sometimes. 6d

dabbe @Tamra #truth 🤗 5d

Amiable Yay, Connecticut! 💃🏻🕺Apparently we need to organize an underground book railroad to our reader friends in Pennsylvania, though. 5d

Amiable This is the most disgusting line in the article: “A study by The Washington Post found that in 2021-2022, just 11 people were responsible for filing 60 percent of book challenges.” ELEVEN people who think their opinions matter more than the rest of us. 5d

Tamra @Amiable crazy isn‘t it? Nobody should say they can‘t make a difference! 5d

The Death of Truth | Michiko Kakutani

pick

I bought this book in like 2019 after reading and being galvanized by the essay Moi and the Rise of Subjectivity. Then I let it linger too long on my shelves and by the time I actually read it (five years later) I was just deflated by it. I don't agree with everything Kakutani says here and I think she allows bad faith usage to undervalue helpful academic schema but it is still interesting.
