As Mark Twain may have said (it's difficult to attribute this quote): Censorship is a baby telling everyone else they can't eat steak, just because it can't chew it.

Needless to say, I agree with what you are saying here 100 percent. I have lots of contentious books in my library.

There also seems to be an alarming increase in those who cannot understand the difference between depicting something and endorsing something (the various nitwits who claim To Kill a Mockingbird is racist, for instance).

To the cancel culture/censorship mobs I say this: If you don't want to read something, fair enough. No one is forcing you to. But what I absolutely will not accept is being told that I, an adult, must not, for my own good, read a book, because you are offended by it.
