Today we’re breaking the rules and reading some offensive books.
Hey gang, it’s episode 244 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast and this week, we’ve got Banned Books Trivia. This week, the American Library Associate has their Banned Books week. They call attention to censorship around the country and highlight books that some people may not want you to read.
Some of these might surprise your while others…not so much.
If you need rules or score cards check out DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. You can also find a list of all the books I’ll mention this week for your reading pleasure.
And with that, let’s get started.

I subscribe to the idea “The answer to bad speech is more speech.” You don’t ban books or take down bad things, you add warnings and disclaimers telling the recipient why it’s bad.

I don’t think coffee would have helped.
Hear, hear.
What I didn’t add was that it’s always one particular political persuasion behind banning books. Wonder why?
