Burned and Banned Book Tag (Original)

Hey, guys! So I've come up with my own book tag dedicated to book burnings and censorship! Kinda morbid, but I had fun doing it! All are welcome to do this tag! Questions: 1. Which books have you read that have been historically burned or banned. 2. What books do you want to read that have historically been banned or burned? 3. What’s your favorite book that the Nazis burned? 4. What’s your fav...

    Northanger Abbey is an amusing take on the classic gothic novel. Within the story is a listing of seven very popular gothics typically called: Jane Austen’s Seven Horrid Novels. They are completely from the genre and most interesting.

    I read Wuthering Heights some years ago and found myself repulsed by it. Just recently, I reread it, determined to give it another chance. I think, looking back, that my own life was in such turmoil at the time of my first reading, that I was unable to fully understand the book. As you mentioned, it is so often held up as a great love story and that is not what it is at all. It's a horrible love story, but a masterwork of obsession and revenge. I am so glad I decided to give it another chance. As for Uncle Silas, I had to stop the video at the moment I learned you were going to speak about Uncle Silas. I am reading it right now and enjoying it immensely. I first read Carmilla, which I also enjoyed and I'm looking forward to reading more of Le Fanu's works.

    Hey 👋🏻 I found you through the FB Booktube group, I love the way you express yourself, I totally agree that it’s none of anybody’s business what books a person buys. I personally think that when someone criticizes a person for something they buy it’s because they would like to have that same thing but can’t afford it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I get most of my books for free or buy them from ThriftBooks, I’m a cheapskate but I don’t send hate to anyone for buying what they want to buy, that will be stupid and a waste of my time. Cheers and happy reading 🤗

      Ket_zees_reads thank you! Yes, I feel it’s either simple jealousy or they’re trying to dismantle the very basis of our capitalist society. Not that cut-throat capitalism isn’t worthy of criticism and discussion, but forcing that huge topic on a community of innocent bookworms i feel is impractical to inspire societal change on such a grand scale.
