As has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread, "books in our own time" tend to still be under copyright and might not survive long in a public code repository.

There is at least one “banned” book, written by a former dictator, whose copyright expired in 2015, 70 years after his death in 1945.

But that’s a good ban of course, because Freedom of Speech only matters when it concerns speech I agree with.
