“Hypothetically” — if libraries were shut down, books started getting banned (more than they already may be), access to literature became more and more difficult… (please forgive me for my privilege, I’m sure some are experiencing this already depending on who/where you are, I couldn’t figure out a better way to word this request 🫠)
What books would you recommend buying hard copies of to make sure they stay accessible? Essential reads that you feel that “all of us” should read at least once so we can be educated/informed/reminded/etc.? Books you’d want to make sure you have on-hand to pass down, read yourself, make available to others, etc. Impactful books that changed your life, changed your views on life, etc.
(Probably a weird take but my example and for me an easy answer is The Hunger Games trilogy. At the age of 12-ish, 20ish years ago, that book taught me the true meaning of “privilege” before I was ever taught what privilege was/before I remember people talking about the term, “privilege.” Changed my views on myself/my life/the lives of those around me, and I’ll be forever grateful to that YA series. Changed my life!)
