hibiscusheadlamp: willow-wanderings: emeraldscholar: rainbowgolded: pantheris: deadhisoka: blackness-by-your-side: The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law. FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST???IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKSARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list. BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG. HERE’S ALL THE PDF VERSIONS I COULD FIND SINCE WE’RE ALL IN QUARANTINE AND WE CAN’T PHYSICALLY GET THE BOOKS WE DON’T HAVE The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Autobiography of Malcolm X Beloved Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (this was the only free version I could find, and it’s a downloadable thing, so do so with caution) The Call of the Wild Catch-22 (it was either this version or one where the entire thing was in comic sans font) The Catcher in the Rye Fahrenheit 451 For Whom the Bell Tolls Gone With the Wind The Grapes of Wrath The Great Gatsby Howl In Cold Blood Invisible Man The Jungle (personally I don’t like this formatting, but the site doesn’t look sketchy so…) - there’s also this which is the proper book format in a pdf, but it’s directly photocopied so it might be hard to read some of the print Leaves of Grass Moby Dick Native Son Our Bodies, Ourselves (we learned about this one in APUSH!) The Red Badge of Courage The Scarlet Letter COULD NOT FIND Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (the ebook is 47 fucking dollars??? and i can’t even find sketchy websites that’ll let me download a pdf. if anyone manages to find a link, lmk please) Stranger in a Strange Land A Streetcar Named Desire Their Eyes Were Watching God To Kill a Mockingbird Uncle Tom’s Cabin Where the Wild Things Are (this is a slideshow!!!! how fun) COULD NOT FIND The Words of Cesar Chavez (however I did manage to download the first 71 pages of the book from EBSCO and I put it here but I couldn’t get the rest. sorry y’all) rebloggan 4 links “We need to ban these dangerous books or The Youth will turn out wrong!” “Guys…. Like half of these were required reading when I was in school and look how I- YOOOOOOOOOOOOO” No joke, every single write up I ever got in school was either “defiance of authority” or “had the unmittigated gall to practice self-defence when violently attacked by another student” and, on a few particularly entertaining ocassions, both! Apparently I should have just blithely accepted having my head repeatedly bashed against a concrete wall and apologized to the bully who tried to kill me for being such an inconvenience. FUCK. THAT. SHIT. READ THE FUCK OUT OF BANNED BOOKS, KIDS! READ THE BOOKS. -- source link
