Looks like you reached your bandwidth limit....

Every minority, be it Baptist / Unitarian, Irish / Italian / Octogenarian / Zen Buddhist / Zionist / Seventh-day Adventist / Women's Lib / Republican / Mattachine / FourSquareGospel feel it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse….

Adventists have never felty the urge to burn any book, period.

It was brought to my attention that this past month saw the celebration of 'banned books week' - a celebration of the freedom to read. I thought it was worth bumping this thread in celebration of this and as a reminder that literature should never be censored.

Here we get to see a map of 'Book Bans and Challenges, 2007-2010' which is a further reminder that banning books isn't just something we used to do.

Enjoy and spread the knowledge and the link

Suprised I didn't see Mein Kampf between these

"The terrorist cook book" is a good one that is banned. I have several copies. Also "The Bell Curve" should be required reading for everyone. Who cares about novels?

Spycatcher, wasnt that banned for a while as well ?

Isn't that your job as a parent? To make sure that their minds aren't filled with "filth" from these books, you should certainly have more influence on a child than a book.

Just a quick question: How many of these books have you actually read? I've read most of them myself, liking them was something else all together...

But Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, and 1984 are three of my favorite books. Filth? Really?
