What would /lit/ consider the most 'forbidden' book? Political, obscene, immoral or all, I don't care. Really curious about this one.

Holy Bible

Harry Potter.

To easy. Even then, it's pretty obvious that they're all fairytales. I would rather judge the people who believe this crap than the bible itself. (It's not all bestiality and rape.)

Your point is moot.

In terms of sheer infamy, probably something like Mein Kampf, seeing as how in many countries it's an offense to even own a copy.

OP here. I don't know if it's exactly what I'm looking for, but it still seems pretty damn interesting. Going on my reading list.

Proceed.

>> No.2323985

Old chestnuts like deSade, von Sacher-Masoch, Bataille, etc. perhaps.

What exactly are you looking for OP?

Difficult to describe. Overall just the book that most people would not want to read because of some reason of another. Just like the kid who only wants to play with the toy which was forbidden to play with, I want to read the book of which the general consencus is that it's immoral, obscene or inhuman.

Maybe it's a little bit easier to understand what I'm looking for with my metaphor that I have just given.

Depends on what crowd you run with:

Typical Dildos: Mein Kampf

Will gladly recommend Philosophy in the Bedroom by de Sade. It's a series of dialogues with pornography intercut with philosophical discussions on libertine morals - basicly meaning no moral restraints whatsoever. It's interesting, despicaple and funny. Might be what ypu're looking for.

Also, Flowers for Algernon is far from what you're looking for, but it's fantastic as well.

Holocaust revisionism seems to get people in a lot of legal trouble in Europe.

Storm of Steel does not sound bad, is it usefull to understand how some idiots can glorify war? If yes: Going on the reading list.

Thanks for the posts so far, excuse me for my english. I realise my spelling and syntax can be flawed sometimes.

I'd guess literatures that justifies sexual relationships between prepubescent children and adults as morally acceptable would be pretty high on that list.

>> No.2324048

>>2324038

Untill now I regret that I have not read anything from de Sade. I think I read somewhere that his writingstyle was quite troublesome and hard to work through, do you agree on this?

If no, going on the list.

Canada Customs withheld this from being imported into the country. The government tried to prosecute its author for inciting racial hatred.

No more than any other philosophic texts, no. Actually I think his is a bit more interesting since the ideas he propose are so ridiculously extreme.

In that case I'll read it. This was in the first place the reason why I have not read it untill now, but I guess this was exaggerated then.

Thanks for contributing so far. First post on /lit/ and I am already satisfied.

And Tango Makes Three


Not even joking, I'm pretty sure that it's been the most banned book of late.

>> No.2324081

>>2324070

Although I can see the humor in it of being banned sometimes, for me personally this is not shocking or immoral at all. Nobody should find this offensive or immoral.

This is what the world has come to. People taking offence about gay penguins. Damn America.

OP here. I certainly don't mind.

I'm going to bed now. Will check this thread tomorrow.
