Can someone explain why it’s so controversial? I bought it at a yard sale a while back but finally got around to reading it recently (I have a literal mountain of books that need to be read) and it wasn’t bad but I know it was banned at one point in time. Or maybe it’s like when my grandmother told me that Elvis swiveling his hips was scandalous and when I first saw footage of Elvis it seemed tame compared to the rap videos that were out at the time or the early 50s R&B song 60 Minute Man

I generally don't read fiction, so the list isn't enormous. Basically LOTR, first few books of GOT, and some Shakespeare. I could not tell you 'favorite passages' from any, although Shakespeare obviously has some quotables.
Well, I wouldn't mind going into discussions about those books, but tbh, I don't really think that this is the best medium for this. I prefer those kinds of discussions in person, rather than writing a message and only getting a response hours later, or perhaps a day later.
Every discussion is better in person. Except with an NPC. I'm just surprise that people can name 'favorite passages' off the top of their head.
