Very well written post. I have read only Animal Farm.

The Catch...Agree, many bans are just inconceivable. The Catcher in Rye, might be banned because of the cuss words, but that vocabulary is inevitable for the targeted readers. Teenagers will be exposed to it anyway! (ironically that is pretty much depicted in that book too) :P <br /><br />Oh yes! I remember there was some famous serial killer who liked The Catcher in Rye a lot. Wonder if there is any legitimate connection. haha! I like that book too. <br /><br />I think hate literature provides another dimension to the literary world. I haven't read Mein Kempf, and if I will read it I think will not internalize hate expressed by Hitler. I would rather read it to analyse and understand the history. Perhaps, also Hitler's world's view. I am unlikely to pick Mein Kempf anytime soon. However, I would like to have a right to read it. I would like to make my own choices.<br /> <br />I believe banning books is an attempt to takes the right to make that choice. Hateful Ideas are not difficult to access. Books, on the other hand, are educational in one way or the other.

I'm interested in your take on banning hate literature...Mein Kempf, for example?<br /><br />I remember when I was in high school one of the books on my required reading list was The Cather in the Rye and I remember my mom saying that when she was in school this book was banned. I remember thinking that it was such an innocent, even innocuous book (words from my current, adult vocabulary that express the reaction of my teenage self, hahaha). I am still blown away that it was banned, but I have heard that it is a favorite of serial killers, so maybe there's something to it...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-992348121248477995.post-4560279573491555662016-04-02T23:28:43.289+05:302016-04-02T23:28:43.289+05:30Agree, Candide is a great book!
