!bookworms as you know Never Let Me Go is finished, we'll have a final thread to discuss the book as a whole this Sunday. So it's time to nominate books for the next bookclub. I'll select all nominations and post a thread to vote which one you like most. First voting will eliminate all but the Top 5.

Perhaps most American's will have already read it, but I've always wanted to see what The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is all about. And from what I understand, they say the BIPOC word a lot, so it may help to engage the average rdrama user.

And in the censored version they replaced BIPOC with “slave” lmao.
I hate that kind of correction, I noticed Brazilian editors are doing that too replacing the word escravo “slave” with escravizado “enslaved”, even on translated works, because apparently “slave” is offensive while “enslaved” is humanizing or something.

Their reasoning is probably the same as in English; "enslaved" does not remove their personhood as much as "slave" does
It will fall to the euphemism threadmill anyway, political correctness never ends
