I was about to pick up house in the Cerulean sea and a few of TJ klunes other books that I own and of course he’s problematic. It has to do with the 60s scoop that involved Native Americans and what horrible things happen to them. My father being a part of that as a Native American himself and a young teen when it happened. He basically used a traumatic time in history as inspiration for his story house in the Cerulean sea. Which is not okay and he’s coming out with a second book to that one next year. I don’t think the publishers should be going forward with this next book but of course they will cuz it’s going to make them money. Should I now tell people the talk about this book but he’s problematic and after that let them do their own research or not say anything?

        Yes but what’s the point of reading books if you can’t share it with other people your love and sometimes dislike and discuss it with others that’s the only thing

      Specifically how would you be harming people by reading this book?

      I think the reason people are guessing you’re a teenager is that you come across as though you haven’t actually formed any opinions on the topics you’re talking about. Rather, you appear to be doing your best to adopt and comply with other people’s opinions.

        Because if you read these people’s works and support them by doing so it’s almost like you believe what they’re saying or you have the same beliefs as them and that’s not good

      How exactly do you harm anyone by reading a book? Please describe the process, do not use the buzz words.

        I have no idea what buzzwords you’re talking about so I don’t know how I could explain it to you without the buzzwords
