Dear @Barthmerrill7947 thank you for your kind words. I always look forward to hearing from you. I wish you a wonderful holiday season and hope to welcome you next year on Bold Books and Bones. Warm regards, Lieven 🌟📚📖🌟☺
Have asked the library to get it. Of course most of their catalogue lists light fiction, local history and celebrity biography - a different kind of censorship - but they're willing to consider requests favourably... A while ago your channel led me to Richard Ovenden's Burning The Books, which was, luckily, easily obtainable in paperback. I look forward to reading this one. And to your thoughts on returning from your latest travels.
@woollyfingers Nice to read that your library is welcoming requests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my channel and for your interest in the episodes that I make. I wish you a nice holiday season and yes I’m working hard on a next episode while I’m in China 🇨🇳😊 Hope you will enjoy the episode when it is ready. Warm regards, Lieven
This is a thought provoking topic, and your presentation of it is inspiring. As you mention, banning a book would put it in rarified company, including Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, and William Burroughs' Naked Lunch, from which Steely Dan drew their name. Growing up in a Catholic environment, the archdiocese in which I lived regularly published a list of "prohibited" movies, which was blithely ignored in my household. 😡
Hi Patrick, nice to hear from you! So you had first hand experience with censorship when you were younger. Thank you for sharing 🌟 I wish you a nice WE, Lieven 🌟📚📖🌟😊
Very good, but it becomes painful when these words, spoken in a sweet, soft way (whispering) describe a situation we are living in, with increasing censorship (since that strange virus, to the current moment, in a certain country in the Americas)...
