Banned Books

[close] As book bans sweep the nation, one great way to push back is to read! Join us virtually on the 3rd Monday of the month at 6:30pm to discuss the banned book of the month, and whether or not any book should truly be banned. Hosted by Vanessa Marie. We've switched to online virtual discussions, so make sure to check your messages for the link to join the Zoom meet for the discussions.

[close] You don’t have to be an English or Literature Major to enjoy great books! We want people to read for the fun of it and not worry about feeling they need to be "smart." We will be reading both traditional, and more modern classic novels. Please feel free to openly discuss any aspects of the books that we read in the forums, and remember that we're reading these books for FUN! So pour yourself a yummy beverage and let's discuss these books like we're sitting with a bunch of friends! We all vote on what book to read next and we read in a three month rotation (Pre-1910, 1910-1959, 1960-2004), so please visit our polls to help us select our next book https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/78394-classics-without-all-the-class?type=group (we pick a book two months ahead in case there is a monster read, people can get started on it early if they desire [Anna Karenina comes to mind....] Our Facebook can be found at the link below. https://www.facebook.com/ClassicsWithoutAllTheClass Our Twitter account is @CWATC_bookclub.

[close] This is the official #BannedAThon group. Both the readathon and group were created by Jessica from 'ADH-Dream' / 'Steam Powered Pixie' on YouTube. The idea was conceived in 2019; The main objective of this readathon is to read AT LEAST ONE banned book throughout the month of September! Why celebrate Banned Books for one week of September, when you can celebrate it for the whole month, instead?! Go big or go home!!! Xxx

Through the Banned Literary Dept., we aim to foster a community that champions creative freedom, challenges convention, and advocates for positive change.
