Banned Books Week Sept 24 to Oct 1

Yes we just missed it, but it is always interesting to read the lists and
now there is this great Google map of challenged books across the United
States.

I have always said that a good Library has got to have something in
it that offends someone. I order books that I will never read (maybe
I should) and that I find offensive for one reason or another. That makes a good Library.
How boring would be our collection to many other people if it were only the books
I want to read.

And here is a link to an article from Laura Miller at Salon about books
that we suffered through having to read in school.
I am sure these are the books that Richard Brautigan was refering to when he wrote:

My teachers could have ridden with the James Gang for all the hours they stole from me.
