I really enjoyed this update and especially the reading of Carrie - I'd never considered it in that way before, despite watching it as a very angsty teenager. God knows I feel there's a lot of rage under my surface that I've been conditioned to suppress.
Also I see your beautiful prompts and raise you a new subcategory: prompts via first-lines of books. The two which immediately come to mind: 'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents' from Little Women & 'I write this sitting in the kitchen sink' from I Capture the Castle.
l appreciate your updates a great deal! l consider this such a valuable topic, and l always get information here that l doubt l would have seen otherwise. I appreciated the personal essay you included as well. Thanks, Victoria!
1. There will always be book bans, as our sensibilities race to catch up with the current culture. 2. These bans will always be exploited by partisans, as there's too much political ammo available to be ignored.
