Imagine being so insecure that a collection of books threatens your whole world view to the point where you're willing to commit felonies to try and limit what's in the pile of books.

It’s not insecurity, it’s flat out cowardice. They’re terrified- of books.

I love libraries that have displays like "These books are banned, read them to find out why."

I love living in a modern society where books aren't banned lol
