The annual "celebration," sponsored by the American Library Association, begins today. My favorite banned book has gotta be the AHD. What's yours? http://www.ala.org/news/v8n12/freedomread.html

The list I looked at didn't include AHD--and that would have been my favorite banned book, too. I took a look at the 1990-2000 list--lots of children's books and some Stephen King among others.
I suppose my favorite on that list is Huckleberry Finn. Blissful memory of having read it one spring, mint julep in my hand throughout many pages, by an iris bed in a garden where Poe once lived.
But How to Eat Fried Worms?? On the list? Why?

It's on the T shirt. Where do we complain about favorite books left off the list?

How about banning the Bible - think of all the filthy stuff in it:murders, rapes, incest
not fit for any child to read.

When I hear about books being banned I wonder: Do these people ever go to the movies? If they did, I reckon they'd happily crawl back to Huck Finn or Holden Caulfield. These kids are a whole lot more wholesome than those preverts up on the screen.

Voted most likely to teach kids how to stare blankly.

OK. Prevert. Is a prevert a young'un? Like an early metamorphical state of a pervert-to-be?
