Carla,
Anything controversial and challenged ...oh! Carla,<br /><br />Anything controversial and challenged and all that good stuff counts, absolutely :D<br /><br />I just think this next week--starting the 25th--would be a great time to get another one. Stick it to the man, y'know :)<br /><br />Yeah, that was pretty lame of the Pope. Harry Potter? You can't do better? Really?<br /><br />Ugh.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268689890561878413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816147226417130386.post-57969952040844336952010-09-18T09:01:19.205-07:002010-09-18T09:01:19.205-07:00oh! that reminds me--i want to read Forever by Jud...oh! that reminds me--i want to read <i>Forever</i> by Judy Blume :D<br /><br />yesyes. i wonder if our library hosts anything like this. i will have to look.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268689890561878413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816147226417130386.post-65075503579301343752010-09-18T05:52:11.707-07:002010-09-18T05:52:11.707-07:00As a librarian, and as a reader, Banned Books Week...As a librarian, and as a reader, Banned Books Week is one of my favorite weeks! My university group is hosting a read-out during the middle of the week, and I intend to collect a good variety of frequently challenged books to display. People so often think of Ulysses and Lady Chatterley's Lover, and don't know that tons of kids' and YA books get challenges--The Lorax, A Wrinkle in Time, pretty much every Judy Blume book ever, The Outsiders.<br /><br />Free people read freely!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634766750596400436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816147226417130386.post-26253163202147277092010-09-17T19:25:13.603-07:002010-09-17T19:25:13.603-07:00Few things make me more angry than censorship. To ...Few things make me more angry than censorship. To me, it's one of the only things I view as blatantly, wholly evil. Banning books especially is something I loathe with all my being. It's connected to my hatred of all things authoritarian and totalitarian. Controlling information or ideas is only ever necessary when you can't abide the truth.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374110841642375968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816147226417130386.post-69432193144927352472010-09-17T19:00:08.043-07:002010-09-17T19:00:08.043-07:00I'm reading Escape by Carolyn Jessop - most li...I'm reading Escape by Carolyn Jessop - most likely banned in the FLDS. Does that count?<br /><br />Also, I just finished Jesus, Interrupted by Bart Ehrman, which I'm sure has been banned by Christian fundamentalists.<br /><br />I was just saying to my husband today how the beginning of my doubt in the authority of any religion definitely began the day pope benedict said Catholics shouldn't read Harry Potter.
