@read-and-be-merry List of Books to Read Before You Die
- Any book you want
- Don’t read books you don’t want to read
- That’s it
- Congratulations you did it
@iammewhooaryou | really like this list. All my favorite books are on it.
@ read-and-be-merry Thanks | worked really hard on it
I have to disagree with this list and say that, at least sometimes, it’s good to read books you don’t want to read.
Absolutely. Ignoring all the books you don’t like is a perfect recipe for ignorance.
There’s always room for people in this wild world whose opinions are wrong.
So, a Zionist is correct to avoid any book that shows the Palestinian side?
I think you’ve mistakenly lost yourself on the path to the “c/stridentpolitics” group. This is “c/books”. It’s an easy mistake to make, seeing as the names are nearly identical.
TIL ‘books’ only means safe fiction and not scholarly works.
So, you’re saying it’s okay for people to avoid fiction books by LGBTQ+ people, or Africans, or any book that might upset their ideas?
We should only stick to things that don’t upset us?
