I think it would be really cool to have a "banned book club". The members would find access to books that are commonly banned. (Not just the popular ones, while they are valuable I'm thinking more the ones that people don't talk about that get banned). Then the members read the books and come back to talk about them like a normal book club. Spread the forbidden knowledge.

It probably would be a book club that seems like a normie one on the surface. Maybe someone who organised it or picked the book would find and distribute copies to the members. Who then when they're done can pass them on to other people around them.

#the distribution part might not just be nice but also necesary #like i havent gone on a particularly long journey of finding '#books in that category but hell finding einstein's essays in humanism was a pain in the ass #not at any of the local libraries. not any local bookstores.#i had either the choice to buy it online or get it through zlibrary #which i fear might be the case for others as well #maybe the book vlub also doubles as a “how to use and get books online for free” class too.
