Penguin Random House Banned Books Recommendations and Review

I’m gonna cut to the chase: read banned books, and fight censorship.

My employer Penguin Random House (PRH) was named as a TIME’s most influential company of 2025 for battling book bans and protecting the freedom to read. It’s honestly the topmost reason I’m grateful to work at PRH, as working for a publisher that has values that align with my own (and take action on those values) is crucial to me.

“ANXIETY IS ITS OWN creature. Anxiety asks me to focus on the terrible things I’ve done. The people I’ve hurt. The promises I’ve broken. Anxiety tells me to make a list. Mistakes. Regrets. Lies. A litany of shortcomings, a coil tightened, ready to spring.”

“Neither (brother) even glaced at the counter. She smiled. Her dumb brothers never cooked. She didn’t think they even knew how! A human being who needs food to live but cannot prepare that food to eat? Pathetic. In this case, it was an advantage. They weren’t interested in any food until it had been cooked for them.”
