Una trilogia palestinese | Mahmud Darwish

#ItTakesAllKinds Day 15: With the current climate, this may be considered #Controversial of sorts. Found it in a bookstore in Bologna. La Feltrinelli.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘ve tried twice to read this and can‘t finish it. Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ why! 1mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It wasn't a can't put down book; but I found the story quite compelling. I wouldn't sweat not finishing it. You're not missing out on anything earth shattering 😊 1mo

Eggs I liked it! But it was exciting on audio with a great narrator👌🏼 1mo

dabbe One of my favorite shirts I loved to wear to school the day we would start reading a banned book (like CATCHER or OF MICE AND MEN) had “I teach banned books“ proudly worded on the front. 🤩😍😘 1mo

DebinHawaii @dabbe That is awesome! 👏🏻 1mo

ImperfectCJ I like reading lists like this. I feel compelled to point out, though, that the article got the name of the narrator of Lolita wrong (it's Humbert Humbert, not Herbert Humbert). 1mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🧡🧡🧡 1mo

Eggs Yeah! Humbert Humbert is much more dramatic than Herbert Humbert. Probably a spelling “correction” from the almighty algorithm 😁 1mo

So You've Been Publicly Shamed | Jon Ronson

#ItTakesAllKinds
#controversial

The principal at my school got fired, our English department chair lost that position, and the two teachers who assigned this book to AP English students got letters in their file ... #controversyoverload.

RebL I read this so long ago that I don‘t remember what in it would cause people to lose their job? My take was that we have to learn anew why we got rid of shaming in the public square. 1mo

dabbe @RebL Ronson included real e-mails that were quite vulgar, racist, sexist, you name it. But he did that to show the unbelievable hate-rage of some people. All the ONE parent who started the whole s(*5-show read were the emails and not the entire book--which is my #1 peeve with anyone who tries to ban a book. You must read the whole darn thing, people! This parent went straight to the media and our school was “publicly shamed“ by the incident. 1mo

RebL 😳😒😤 Not even sure what to say. Also, you probably already thought of the things I would say. 1mo

DebinHawaii I‘ve not ever read this but it sounds like I should! Stacking.📚 1mo

Amiable This was a great book. It scared the crap out of me in that it really showcased the dangers of using social media. Which is a message high school students (and everyone else) should hear. 1mo

dabbe @RebL I am with you 💯 on what you're not saying. Thanks. 😍 1mo

dabbe @DebinHawaii It was bandaid-off-the-scab riveting. 😘 1mo

dabbe @Amiable #amensoulsista! 🤩😍😃 1mo

CarolynM 😡 Ridiculous! The media should be shamed for their irresponsible behaviour in stirring up controversy. 1mo

dabbe @CarolynM Agree 💯. I guess controversy creates sales in this capitalistic society. #argh 1mo
