Banned Books Week

According to the American Booksellers Association, the American Library Association and about a dozen other trade and educational associations this is Banned Books Week. Who am I to say otherwise?

So let’s all read a banned book. Heck, most of the books that I find abnormally interesting have been banned somewhere or other. In addition to the rather long list provided by the American Library Association, the Bible and the Qur'an have been banned at various times and in various places and Plato didn’t think too much of Homer.
