I'm looking to expand my physical library, what books do you seen getting banned soon? I don't mean edgelord /pol/tard garbage like Turner Diaries, but classic literature at risk of being deemed unacceptable over the next few months or years.

I don't know if any classic literature is ever really deemed 'unacceptable' by anyone serious. I'd be interested to hear if you had any books you think were already banned like that.
if I had to put a bet on which though, Conrad's Heart of Darkness ought to be canceled. I read it recently and kind of a smoothbrained take but I don't know what value it has now, besides its influence.
and I wish Fahrenheit 451 was banned

I just got spooked by gone with the wind getting pulled and some schools pulling mark twain, I know you can still find that stuff elsewhere. Moreso just trying to be proactive, and also need some new books to read anyways.

upset PTAs have no influence on what books are considered classics, anon. and all those stories about highschools deciding not to teach huck finn get spread around *because* it's obviously ridiculous. sorry bradda this is a silly thread. keep reading though!
also, argument for pulling Twain in highschool: when a class teaches Twain, black kids are turned into representatives for all black people which isn't comfortable most of the time and you can't count on Highschool teachers teaching the books well enough for black kids to be comfortable. This unfair to do to highschool kids who have no choice but to go to these classes. In college though these books aren't pulled because, students are more mature, professors teach with more nuance, black people do not have to take the class if they are not comfortable with the material.

Any book banned in the next decade will simply be over petty shit. It's booked that have already been banned for a long, long time that are worth special consideration.

a lot of old children's books will soon disappear for good. a few years ago there was a "revised" version of enid blyton's famous five series that changed a lot of the language. it flopped, but only because there are still a lot of people who have strong memories of the originals. when they're gone, they'll either be changed again or quietly fade away completely. also blyton herself will probably get "cancelled" because she didn't like darkies.
i read all the biggles books i could find when i was a kid. loved them. they are full of stereotypes. you don't see them around any more.

What does a "ban" mean? The book is no longer available on Amazon? Libraries shred them? It becomes a crime to possess, trade privately? Death for those who print?

desu as far as the masses are concerned, as soon as a book is banned from Amazon and a few major retailers it is as good as memory holed. People who really want some controversial book could probably find it with enough effort, but as far as the average person goes, once they don't find it in one or two places they'll likely give up and forget about it. Censorship is privatised and outsourced.
