So ... the Top 110 Banned Books (gacked from hornfroggie and shagsthedustmop:

You should copy the list, bold the ones you've read entirely, italicize any you've skimmed or partially read, and make additional wicked comments.

( Horrible Evil Literature )

books broaden your mind, four yobbos from dublin who sing a bit, the point of an essay is 2 change things, how can you stop writing?

Just noticed ... corrected, thanx!

And I own a copy of that book, mine is going to be more lyrics, less Xtian God. It's still a good book tho

I suppose Sherlock Holmes is om the list because of his drug use - or perhaps because he smokes a lot ;)

I haven't read all of these, so maybe I'm talking out my ass, but IMHO some of the ones I have read should be required reading for every American, if not for every human being. I hate censorship. Even tho hatemongers are allowed to speak because we have freedon of speech--or supposedly we do--I still think it's something to fight for. And I do.

My idea has always been "anything that makes you actually USE your mind to think with instead of just doing what's always been done ... is healthy."
