Four authors to read before the woke censors come after them

 American Thinker   "Especially among conservative circles, it is easy to see how works published or written longer ago than the current year might come under harsh scrutiny from the editors of large publishing houses.  It is not the time to panic just yet.  However, with Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming becoming subject to rewrites and censorship as well as large retailers banning certain books from their platforms, it might be time to ponder what books you have been meaning to buy before you either cannot or it has been altered past the author's intent.  Granted, while some of these books are politically controversial, it would be foolish to suppose that any such censorious instincts end at politics or the hot-button topic of the minute.

"Therefore, with a focus on literature and entertainment, let's dive in to four books I'd ask you to consider before to acquire while they are unmolested and purchasable.". . .

1. The Children of Hurin, by JRR Tolkien, is one of the more controversial works by the esteemed professor.  The dust cover states that this is one of Tokien's earliest Middle Earth creations, with its origins possibly being from his WW1 days.  It is not very difficult to see why one would want to obtain the earliest of Tolkien's work unmolested.  On the matter of controversy, not even all Lord of the Rings fans are universal in adoration of this work.  To summarize what divides them: there is no happy ending, and good does not necessarily triumph.  Nonetheless, the book is a great work of tragedy.  If you do not want to support the Tolkien Estate's questionable decisions, I would advise tracking down a used hardcover.
