Because of this I'm going to repost u/fixtheblue's very important message regarding this subreddit's rules:

In light of the recent attack on the author, we understand this is a hot topic in many different circles. We hope you join us in reading this modern classic novel, and in showing support for Sir Salman Rushdie in upholding freedom of speech in the face of religious extremists that wish to cause him and others harm. schedule, this was actually the most upvoted book selection in r/bookclub history!! As you likely already saw from the September schedule for r/bookclub the Fall Big Read nominated by u/bluebelle236, and voted on by you all, is The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie! Special thanks to u/Superb_Piano9536's campaign that helped bring more attention to current events surrounding the book, and helped the book get nominated.
