TBF it's ruddy 'ard to remember Kipling.

In high school/middle school I had a 2nd hand ereader, no money, and didn't know how to
ebooks (idk even know if epubs were that easy to get for everything back then)
so I read project gutenberg books all day
I was nearly friendless so I had plenty of time on my hands
One of the first books I read on my ereader was "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling. I vaguely remember enjoying it, but it was too long ago to remember why. I was the annoying
about the differences between books and their TV adaptions for a while after that. I will never feel as intellectual as I did in middle school (and that's a good thing 
)

I did the same thing because i had a old ipad and apple doesnt sell books here so i read victorian books (theyre free) all the time.
Most obscure one i read is a crime thriller about an artist and a woman who become a nurse. Also i loved sherlock holmes so much i read most of doyles other works he gets pretty weird towards the end of his life

Idk about the books, but Orson Scott Card is some kind of neoliberal who has weird pundit moments and used to write rants about gay marriage in newspapers
he was like "In the 70s they promised they would NEVER advocate for marriage! What promises will the homosexuals break next?"
"PUT SODOMY LAWS BACK ON THE BOOKS"
"gays reproduce by m0lestation"
etc

Fair point, accentuating how cucked the Cons are, as usual. Promises, in politics, are only kept if they can be enforced, and Cons are literally incapable.

If you read the Endless series I could see quite a few ways his work could be considered problematic. Starting with Delirium being a rainbow hair gendeless tumblrina for instance
The time has come for the Necromaster. The unleashing of the fourth joker's card. The arrival of The Great Milenko

I've read it, it's been a long time though. I don't remember anything too bad in there. His comics are actually the only bit of his writing that I liked.

There isn't really, but if you go looking for things to be offended by:
Desire is androgynous (non-binary train) and is one of the most vile, evil wicked characters. It's strongly implied their "female" aspect is the more evil.
Despair is a short, obese woman with greyish skin and irregularly-shaped teeth. Of course the only way he could represent despair was with a fat woman. That's misogyny and fat shaming rolled together.
Like I said, Delirium is a tumblrina. Of course insanity and delusion are represented by a rainbow hair genderfluid teenager.
The "heroes" are all white men (Dream, Destiny, Destruction).
Death is just there for the male gaze/fan service.
Ultimately though his biggest mistake was representing women as having agency and being capable of doing bad things. That kind of shit will get you cancelled super fast.

In a Game of You a witch calls on the power of the Moon to transport all women present into the dreamland to help Barbie, the main character of the story. Wanda, who is Barbie's transsexual friend, is left behind, and the reason is explicitly given that the Moon doesn't accept her as a woman.

American Gods was a good read but not something I'd revisit, most of the charm was the novelty. And Good Omens with Pratchett is gold

Good omens takes some of the best parts of both authors and combines them for sure.
