Welcome!
We are a book club built around banned, challenged, and criminally under read books.
We have a particular interest in the ones pulled from school libraries, removed from AP curriculums, and flagged by people who had not read them.
Every month, we pick one book and answer the same question: why did this one get banned?
In December we publish the Read Responsibly Index — our annual list of the most controversial books of the year.
If you have strong opinions about what belongs on a syllabus, read translated fiction without needing a recommendation from a major publication, and think the banned books list reads more like a curriculum than a warning, you're in the right place.
