I guess they would ban "the Odd Couple", too. Two guys living together.
And Moby Dick. I mean, it was all men on that boat. And that title!

‘This #book should be consumed in tiny pieces, thoughtfully, savoring each delicious morsel in small bites, allowing the sumptuous flavors to come alive.
“True ##poets, like mystics, are messenger pigeons,” says Labadidi. He is at heart a poet who will appeal to anyone interested in short and memorable sayings to live by.
Quarantine Notes is a book of #hope for the universal spirit.’

Trying to get some more Shakespeare under my belt without going to a play or reading Shakespeare. I'm an English major, but sometimes I did use the Cliff's Notes.

“…the novel’s fizzing exuberance derives from the fun of watching Gray’s keen authorial intelligence finding layer upon layer of unexpected possibility in his one ingenious narrative conceit.”
—Jonathan Coe reviews Alasdair Gray’s POOR THINGS in the London Review of Books, 8 October 1992

Yorgos Lanthimos’s adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s novel POOR THINGS (1992) has won the Golden Lion at the 2023 La Biennale di Venezia. In a series of recordings made in the last year of his life, Gray talks about the novel & reads extracts – & discusses works which influenced him, from Thomas Love Peacock’s NIGHTMARE ABBEY (1818) to Mel Brooks’ YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)
