The act of ‘banning’ a book makes us 10x more interested in reading it, and sharing it.

Stories have always been a quiet act of resistance.

This curated set of five modern classics honors voices that dared to question, to challenge, and to dream of something better.

Featuring hardcover editions of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, and Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, this collection celebrates the outsiders and the truth-tellers.

  1. Interesting that all 5 of these are banned, presumably in public and school libraries. I read all of them back when I was young. Fahrenheit 451 was required reading for a Lit. class, I don’t recall if it was a high school or college.

  2. This is so frightening. That a small group of -mostly faceless, nameless, brainless people – can make a decision about what we read. Can decide what sort of whitewashed pap we feed children in our schools. This has to stop.
