I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I can‘t even with this list. Some choices, sadly, are obvious. Some choices are head scratchers. Some are completely unknown to me, so I guess the bans worked? I‘ve read 24. Take the survey at https://shorturl.at/EHil3.

These are my picks from the irony division.
1. Mark Twain - I only even read TS & HF because they were assigned IN SCHOOL .
2. Ender‘s Game - problematic author part one.
3. Harry Potter - problematic author part two.

Susanita TKAM wasn‘t an assigned book for me in high school BUT we did the play my senior year. 1mo
BkClubCare Of Mice and Men?! We studied this in 9th grade. I don‘t recall much Twain in school nor TKAM, but it‘s been a long time ago. Actually surprised Romeo & Juliet wasn‘t on the list. 1mo
dabbe @BkClubCare Oh, but that\'s SHAKESPEARE. He must be okay because we don\'t really understand what he\'s saying. Forget all of his puns and double entendres. (a wee sarcastic rant here). The sheer breath of the type of books is staggering, too, from picture books to LOLITA. 😳 Thanks for playing and sharing! 🧡🍁🧡 1mo
BkClubCare @dabbe IKR?!?! 😅 I just watched a bit from the Leo D‘C Baz version of R&J ❤️ ♥️💖💝👩‍❤️‍👨 I have fond memories of being a substitute teacher for HS Engl and reading/watching. Good Times (the T that I subbed for was terrific- she had those kids in the palm of her hand. It was an honor to sub for her) 1mo
dabbe @BkClubCare Those are the kind of teachers that are worth subbing for! 🧡🤎💛 1mo

1. I was named after a character on General Hospital. My mom used to love soap operas and liked the name "Andrew"

2. Ender's Game. That's not even the name he's known by, though. I don't come across "Andrew" often (Andy and Drew don't count ?)

Amiable I‘m named after a character on “Secret Storm,” which was my mother‘s favorite soap opera at the time! We should start a club for “people named after soap opera characters.” Or a support group. 😀 8mo

Read this one for my book club. I‘m not a fan. The dialogue couldn‘t have been more clunky and the secondary story is just straight weird.

Pickpick

One my all time favorite books that I enjoyed even more re-reading it after many years. But oh boy, did Paul not share my opinions about this. Join us for a discussion about religion in sci-fi, Orson Scott Card and a of course the sequel to Ender's Game - Speaker for the Dead on episode 44 of the Mind Duck Books Podcast: https://bit.ly/3IJmr8O

We are also on video for this one: https://youtu.be/Cd3YhrobKEc

Ender's Game | Orson Scott Card

I read Homebody by this author a while ago and I really enjoyed it. I know this book is a much more popular book by him so I figured I should read it and see what all the talk is about 😄 I actually wasn‘t aware this was a whole series, so hopefully the first one delivers well so I can read the rest!
