 yeah probably. Some time this year I saw a "news" report somewhere stating that 1984 (fair enough) and Lord of the Rings are considered as dangerous. Not sure why the latter was mentioned. Anyway, definitely read the books your Gov doesn't want you to read. 
 Lord of the Rings is considered 'dangerous' by some twitter left type people, who see it as a 'dogwhistle' for stuff like English nationalism, racism. Tolkien is a tiny bit 'cancelled' lol 
 At least we still have the bible. Wouldn't know what to do without it 🤣
