Not all books are equal.

That is why Republicans Hate Books.

They're also our most sophisticated time machines. A book can sit forgotten for centuries, only for a reader to experience an author's words to them, as clear as the day they were written.

That’s why they hate educated people

Knowledge providing power is the whole issue.
It is power that people want to control, not the books per se

“Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the Universe together into one garment for us.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Unless you are a Republican as they need their voter base ignorant and compliant with all of their idiotic ideas.

Knowledge threatens the far right and the oligarchs, ergo, ban books.

You know what? Even BAD books can teach you a lot of things if you're inquisitive. I learned so many things about science just by reading bad sci-fi when I was a young teen. How? I questioned how things work and I learned how to research. Now, I frequently read 'bad' books.

Yes. The thing is, ~if~ you are inquisitive. That's a big IF, a humongous IF...
