Can you name some books today that have been banned in 2023?

As an AI language model, I do not have information about the future or events that may occur in 2023. However, I can provide some examples of books that have been banned or censored in the past.

1. "1984" by George Orwell - This classic dystopian novel has been banned in several countries, including the former Soviet Union and China, due to its criticism of totalitarianism and government control.

2. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee - This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel has been banned in some schools and libraries due to its use of racial slurs and controversial themes.

3. "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger - This classic coming-of-age novel has been banned in some schools and libraries due to its use of profanity and controversial themes.

4. "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie - This novel was banned in several countries due to its controversial portrayal of Islam and its prophet.

5. "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence - This novel was banned in several countries due to its explicit sexual content and controversial themes.

It's worth noting that while these books have been banned or censored in some places, they are still widely read and celebrated in many other parts of the world.

Ok. Understood. Can you name some modern books that have been banned recently?

Certainly, here are a few examples of modern books that have been banned or challenged in recent years:

1. "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie - This young adult novel has been banned or challenged in several schools and libraries due to its depictions of alcoholism, poverty, and sexuality.

2. "This One Summer" by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki - This graphic novel has been banned or challenged in several schools and libraries due to its depictions of sexuality and mature themes.

3. "George" by Alex Gino - This children's book has been banned or challenged in several schools and libraries due to its portrayal of a transgender child.

4. "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas - This young adult novel has been banned or challenged in some schools and libraries due to its depictions of police brutality and racism.

5. "Looking for Alaska" by John Green - This young adult novel has been banned or challenged in some schools and libraries due to its depictions of sexuality, drug use, and controversial themes.

It's worth noting that while these books have been banned or challenged in some places, they have also been widely praised for their important and thought-provoking themes.

Ok. I’m looking for a book but I forgot the title. I searched my house upside down for it too *laughs*

It’s a curated small book (maybe 150 pages maximum) and a new publication of short stories from ancient and modern Japanese philosophers. With an old Japanese story about a philosopher who lives midway through a mountain during serfdom but he’s glorifying and admiring the wabi sabi of living poor at the bottom of the mountain; this writer in his poem even gets angry at the bourgeoisie/wealthy class and discusses some economic issues. I’ve been searching for this book.

Can you help me figure out what publication it is?

I'm sorry, but without more information about the book, it may be difficult to identify the specific publication you are looking for. However, I can suggest a few resources that may be helpful in your search:

1. Check your browsing history - If you searched for the book online, you may be able to find it in your browsing history.

2. Check your email - If you ordered the book online, you may have received an email confirmation with the title and author.

3. Search online bookstores - Try searching for "Japanese philosophy short stories" or "Japanese philosophy anthology" on online bookstores like Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

4. Ask for help on social media - You can try asking for help on social media platforms like Twitter or Facebook. Someone may be able to recognize the book based on your description.

I hope these suggestions are helpful in your search for the book you are looking for!
