Learn & Admire, do not Ban & Burn

Depending on your method, different titles "rank" as the most banned of 2022.  Well, none should be.

I believe that what we read nurtures us.  Teaches us.  Inspires us.  Helps us be more empathetic rather than merely have sympathy for the experiences of others.

Choice is freedom. It's up to you which book you pick up, so if you don't like the topic, don't read it.  As simple as that.
