My favorite RUclipsr is back! I just wanted to add Angels in America as an important banned book, I feel it often gets overlooked because it was written as a play. It's about 7 hours in length and 300 pages so it doesn't even get performed often enough. It was challenged because someone called it pornography. I think it's a really well written story of people living through HIV/AIDS and is a very unique reminder of history we are not typically taught in school.
This was incredibly informative! It is wild to me that someone could be worried about the effect of some of these books when social media/internet access is so readily available with everything and more that you could find in any one of these books...
thank you for watching! exactly this!! it’s easier to digest and process certain tough topics and form your own opinion when reading a book that contains them, rather than getting pieces of peoples POVs through short form content that loses nuance - plus books require more imagination than a lot of visual content online!
hi!! a wrinkle in time, alice in wonderland, american psycho, the alchemist, the bell jar, the giver, & the power of now are some of my favs that i’ve seen on banned book lists before!
love that your using your channel to talk about important issues like this!! very informative
thank you!! 💌
