Anaya's Banned Book Club

is a haven for literary rebels and courageous readers who dare to explore the pages that others have sought to suppress. In a dimly lit corner of a quaint bookstore, Anaya curates a collection of works that have faced censorship, controversy, and condemnation. From classics like "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "1984" to contemporary novels challenging societal norms, the club thrives on the power of the written word to provoke thought and stir debate. Each meeting is a journey through forbidden narratives, where members discuss the impact and relevance of these books in today's world, fostering a community united by a shared love for the freedom of expression.

Best seller “Gone Girl” a novel by Gillian Flynn Riddles, my wife loved games of amusement I never found out the clue of why she had gone missing, accuse me? I was spent on our anniversary Under mysterious circumstances Nothing is what it seems Nick and Amy’s duality Identity, masculinity For once I didn’t feel like I was struggling Iconic cool girl persona The girl men like Nick want Never get angry, party girl, let men do what they do Women’s issues, an essay Amy would write Molding herself into that girl reinventing herself Image and alter-ego are everything! Appearance verses reality Genuine pleasure to read Oh, she has the last word A classic Who done it? distinct subgenre Surprising and masterfully done Amy is smart, self-aware with a vindictive psyche Warning authors of their marriage Nick’s side or Amy’s? Two very different humans They both prove to be unreliable Awry, a thriller of unease

I don't understand book banning to be honest. Personally, there are a lot of books I would never read (Harry Potter for example) but I wouldn't begin to tell someone else what they should or shouldn't. I remember this movie, though never saw it. Nice poetic synopsis

There you are. Always nice to read your cheerful words, especially since I'm in a funk, but you wouldn't be interested in politics, I know!! Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, compelling! Your opinion today is valued, in an upside-down world, banning classics would make sense. Ty

John Lawless is a well read and self made poet. John writes poetry daily and posts his thoughts on a popular site, inspiring and encouraging his followers in doing the same. Just a click away! Ty, for dropping by,John.

Anaya, I love what you are doing and say bring it. The banners are afraid that we will see ourselves and our situation in these books. This could make us unhappy with our current state of affairs. There are some remarkable tales of suffering and deceit, which can teach so much as well as just entertain. Smiles!!

TY so true, they are afraid of life itself, my poet friend. ~smiling back. Thank you for stopping in to support gross book banning, your intellect is appreciated here.

Anaya, this reminds me of Gilbert and Sullivan verse "Things are never what they seem, skin milk masquerades as cream". Does anyone ever really know anybody? even strangers to ourselves. Good job on today's meeting. Robert

Delighted you joined in with a most interesting perspective. What we do know, is that it's such a shame the banning of books. Stay well, Robby~

Abdullah, it's interesting that you expressed thoughts on old and new, I was testing out today's newer subgenre Y/A. Time will only tell of a classic in the making. I think I lost my train of thought, lol. Ty for commenting, always a pleasure to hear from you ~hugs
