It is the American Library Associations Banned Books Week.
September 29–October 6, 2007
Check out the bottom of the page for lists of top banned books as well as the top books currently under attack.
Read as many as you can .
It is sort of nice in the age of youtube that people are still getting bent out of shape over the printed word.
i remember my dad used to always get the banned books… & the banned children’s books as well for us to read. i never got why they were really so “horrible” they had to be banned… just a bunch of uber-sensitive people getting offended at things they shouldn’t.
I think the context of the times matters, but even some things from their “challenged” ( books people are *currently* trying to ban ) list don’t seem to be that disturbing.
