It’d be wild to hold an amnesty fair for books in jail. Like a Go Fish game!
One side.
“Give me all your .. Huck Finns.”
“Nope. Go fish!”
Other side.
“Give me all your .. Lawn Boys.”
“Nope! Go Fish!”
“Give me [Dr Seuss, Roald Dahl, Jeanine Cummins .. any 100 dead or living white authors.]”
Nope! Go fish!
Do you have any Gender Queers? “Nope! Go fish!
“Mom he’s cheating!”
“No, she’s cheating! She keeps saying she doesn’t have any books in jail!”
Mom: “Kids, you both have books in your jails. Stop lying. Give them over.”
“But Mom, he’s got tonnes of graphic sex books in jail and says they’re healthy!”
“It’s not fair! She has the entire western canon dating back to the Enlightenment in jail and won’t admit it!”
~~~
Note: If books are curated, they’re not banned. Psychology doesn’t belong in Home Improvement. Chaucer doesn’t go in modern poetry. Lawn Boy doesn’t go on a kid’s shelf. Look up what librarians actually do for collection management.
Thanks for playing along on Go Fish for Books! your first Get Books Out Of Jail Game!
