I won't go into what I've read. What I will do is ask who decides what books are harmful and why. Many of these book should be read, given the advantage of hindsight, to have a well rounded education and better understanding of history. To label a book as harmful is a form of censorship. There are all kinds of censorship. I believe in the free exchange of ideas in every form, whether written, spoken, art, video, music, etc., as long as it doesn't instigate unreal fear/hate, which might lead to violence. I'll agree that some of the books listed contributed to hate/fear in there day, which lead to violence, but these book are valuable in educational content today, when read with the advantage of hindsight. Understanding how they influenced harm in there day can prevent us from making the same mistakes. Some of the books listed I haven't read, so I'll have to look into why they are considered harmful, or did harm, if that is what the website is saying.
