These overrated literary classics have had more than enough time in the sun. It’s time to spend our time with some others!

    I’m left-leaning, and I’m sure the right would call me “woke,” but I agree that we shouldn’t change or forget dated books. It’s for a few reasons, but primarily because it’s important to remember historical figures as they were, not who we want them to be. Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer. Dahl was anti-Semetic. Wilson actively segregated the federal government. Those things should be confronted. Whitewashing them doesn’t help.
