Writer's Block: Book review

Infuriating question.

There are a lot of books I dislike and would prefer never to have existed, but it's entirely up to people if they want to be daft enough to read something bad. Who are we to censor other people? There are a lot of hateful texts out there, but if you read Mein Kampf and decide that you now hate Jews, the problem lies with you yourself.

I agree with you. If anything, I'd go towards encouraging older kids to read and debate this stuff, because if there's one thing I'd want them to learn in school, it's the power of words, of books, of ideas, to form societies and events that change people's lives, be it for the better or the worse.

Exactly. There are a lot of books that have troublesome content, but you know, so many regimes have censored the most innocent stuff and it's best jto just not go there. Debate is far more useful than pretending things don't exist.
