Apparently this week is banned book week. A friend of mine pointed this out on her blog. After reading the top 100 list of banned books I found that I had read twelve of them. Here is my current reading list. It wouldn't surprise me if many of these books are also on somebody's banned list.

ReplyDeleteSo do you dispositionally desire to read the banned books, or their ilk because of something inside you, or do you situationally want to read them because of the climate of questioning the establishment? HMMM? Could it be SATAN? Where is the Church Lady when you need her?
