I don’t need to be protected from a book. Do you?I’ve started a pet project of sorts (tentatively) called DON’T LIMIT MY LIT. In a nutshell, it’s about book banning. I’m going to keep it going for at least six months— which I like because Banned Books Week will be going on right in the middle. Book banning trends and lawsuits have been flying around in my country lately, so I’ve suddenly taken an interest in learning as much as I can about the big picture of book
burningbanning on an international scale, away from the overall theme of fuckyeahreading, my tumblr book baby (which by the way I seriously still can’t believe has found itself 7,497 followers).If you’re interested in book banning or what I’ll find, such as
- news
- trivia
- history
- quotes from banned books
- or quotes about censorship and ban culture—
good or bad, from Malaysia and all around the world, then COME keep me company and follow the Tumblr. If you’re not around these here parts very often, then why not Like its Facebook page?
Reblogs, likes, submissions, even applications for co-admins are all welcome to the party.

As part of the state-mandated termination of its ethnic studies program, the Tucson Unified School District released an initial list of books to be banned from its schools today. According to district spokeperson Cara Rene, the books “will be cleared from all classrooms, boxed up and sent to the Textbook Depository for storage.”

Everything I read is subversive. It’s made subversive simply by the fact that I’m the one reading it. #Imspecial.
