Banning a book removes the book from the shelves, but it also silences the author’s voice. And, in doing so, it often silences the viewpoints and cultures of already marginalized groups. ​

To confront this, My Flying University is launching a (free) Banned Book Club for folks who would like to read and discuss commonly banned books and the "dangerous" ideas inside them. All adults welcome.

We're starting with George Orwell's Animal Farm, because it's short, it's sharp, and the list of places that have tried to suppress it is its own kind of reading list. Because attempts to ban a book reveal a lot about which perspectives, cultures, and stories are considered threatening to the dominant group.

I'm looking for suggestions for banned books that are really worth the read, especially when you know the stories behind their writing and the ban.
