Hello. Per rule 3.14 does anyone else/today I learned/unpopular opinion posts are not allowed in /r/books. Please post in /r/DAE, /r/TodayILearned, or /r/unpopularopinion, or make a new, rephrased post in /r/books. For your particular question, this would be better suited for our twice-weekly Simple Questions thread. Thank you.

Hello. This is a book forum, not a political platform. Discussing political books is allowed, but discussions unrelated to books (this entire chain was unrelated to the parent comment about The Autobiography of Malcolm X) need to be kept to a political subreddit. Thank you.

Hello. Per rule 1.2, posts and comments cannot be inherently political. Discussing political books is allowed; derailing this into an unrelated political discussion is not. This is a book forum, not a political platform. Thank you.

Per Rule 2.1: Please conduct yourself in a civil manner. Do not use obscenities, slurs, gendered insults, or racial epithets.

Per Rule 3.6: No distribution or solicitation of pirated books.

We aren’t telling you not to discuss piracy (it is an important topic), but we do not allow anyone to share links and info on where to find pirated copies. This rule comes from no personal opinion of the mods’ regarding piracy, but because /r/books is an open, community-driven forum and it is important for us to abide the wishes of the publishing industry.
