The American Library Association has posted their list of 100 most frequently banned (challenged) books. So it's also read a banned book time. Go, read, fight the stupidity. As for me I've read the following 3,5,6,7,8,13,16,18,19,20,22,23,28 (for research in case anyone's wondering, not being gay figured it's best to do the bookwork to write better scenes), 32,37,40,41,47,51,52,55,56,60,62,69,70,71,72,73,77,83,84,85 (wow half my high school reading list is on here) My life goal is now to be banned as many times as Stephen King.

Also, aaronlisa put me on to a writing community100words_100day  where you basically committe to write 100 words a day for 100 days. Most seem to be tallying up by the week. I did the tally of the stuff I REMEMBER writing (there's more I can't remember) and wrote over 20,000 words last week. No wonder my hand and ass are numb.

wow i've read so many of those books and never knew they were so controversial.

I've actually had this happen to me though. In 7th grade we were banned from reading "the giver" by lois lowry (on that list) and it happens to be one of the most amazing thought provoking books around. My stupid school.

Haven't read that one. I'll have to give it a try. My school never tried to ban anything luckily. Years after I graduated they tried to ban our mascot (we were the Blue Devils)
