bel,

I think Mav and Dr Bill pretty much summed it up, but yes, I was being a little sarcastic there. Some US school systems have banned the Harry Potter books, for example, because they "teach Satan worship." I figure if a book is banned, for whatever reason, it's worth looking into.

My favorite banned book, for all the inherent irony, is Fahrenheit 451.

I've been googling around for a good banned books site, but haven't found one yet. There are so many of them! This I think is supposed to be the official one, but some of its links are broken. Can anyone find a comprehensive list on line?
