The Great Courses banned Books, Burned Books: Forbidden Literary Works by Maureen Corrigan

"But I'll always choose feeling uncomfortable over ignorant. Which is the far more dangerous condition"
This audio book was simply fascinating to listen through! I'd consider myself a book buff but I learned things about the great works of literature in the world that I never knew before. The only reason this isn't a full 5 star read for me is that I wish the author took a more definitive stance for or against JKR in the chapter about her. Based on the other comments made by Corrigan throughout the course, I do not think she believes or supports any of Rowlings beliefs, but I wish there had been a more decisive statement instead of remaining impartial due to the possibility of research bias.
Otherwise, an all around fascinating read.
