Overview

Reading is resistance! 

Join me in opposition of oligarchy, fascism, censorship, and injustice. 

Let’s read what they don’t want us to read! Knowledge is power. 

I tried to curate a varied list of books to choose from, including banned books, but this is by no means an exhaustive list. Some of them I have read, but many I have not yet. 

Join me on my quest for more knowledge and follow along with my Read to RESIST Challenge!
