Brilliant idea. I’ve gotta say, I am surprised to see some of the books that are featured. I mean REALLY surprised. I lead a sheltered life, I guess.

There are, to this day, way too many books that are ‘challenged’ in America. Usually at a school level, but sometimes at a public library level. It is absurd. I do not think that any book should be challenged let alone banned (if you don’t like it, don’t freaking read it/let your kid read it), but some of the books that are questioned are so innocuous that it almost defies belief.

Agreed. If you don’t like it, then leave it be. This kind of thing makes me grumpy.

I know, right? I happen to find the shit writing in Fifty Shades of Grey deeply offensive, but I have no desire to stop others from reading it if that’s what they want.

Ha – that reminds me of the observation a NY Times book critic once made about “The DaVinci Code”. He said he refused to read it because it was a violation of his faith. Not his faith in the Catholic church, but his faith in the English language.

Oh, now that is hilarious! Oddly enough, that is another book on my Never to Read List!
