BELONGING TO A NATIONAL BOOK CLUB LEADS TO THE INTELLECTUAL POVERTY OF ANY POPULATION.

[Gretta Fahey]

BELONGING TO A NATIONAL BOOK CLUB OR READING ONLY FROM A RECOMMENDED BOOK LIST LEADS TO THE INTELLIECTUAL POVERTY OF ANY POPULATION.
Book club books are possibly being recommended by those who wish us to think only inside a particular box. If everyone who lives in a particular country was to join a national book club and then only read those books recommended by that national book club then all members of that book club would begin to think alike and their knowledge base would be similar to each other which would result in the intellectual poverty of that particular country. Furthermore the pool of books in circulation within that country would gradually decrease which would then lead to the intellectual poverty of the whole population of that nation or country. Asking people to belong to a book club or to select books only from a recommended book list is a form of censorship. Those who censor always have something to hide. We must always provide counter arguments when we disagree with public opinion and we must never censor and that is a good way to solve problems. Stay away from book clubs and always read outside any and all recommended book lists and continue to do this for the intellectual betterment of society in all areas.
