The most banned book in America of all time is 1984 by George Orwell.
For that reason, I think Iโll read it.

Check out Brave New World too! I find it more entertaining, and it seems to be in color ๐คฃ
What I find amazing about it, is that much of what Aldous Huxley describes had not been invented, or even conceived of, when he wrote it in 1931. Test tube babies, miniature golf, helicopters, parties where people listen to electronic music while taking drugs and having sex are some examples that stand out.
itโs excellent, and for more terror after reading it, check out the film version actually made in 1984
Is that movie good?
Must read. If that's true it's news to me. I'm about 80% finished (it's the most dense section so far).
Animal farm is up next
Who banned it? I mean I can understand that they would, but they were still encouraging kids to read it when my wife was in school 15 years ago
really ? must be the school.. I was in school at that same time n didnโt get encouraged by the school to read it
I mean even when I was in school 25 years ago, it wasnโt required even in AP literature classes, but it was on lists of recommended reads to get credit forโฆ we were recently talking about good books for my teenage son to read and she had said that she read it in one of her high school classes because it was recommended.
Thatโs crazy I wish I knew about it back then!! ๐คฏ
Great book
