Banned Books Week

Like the title of this post says, this week is Banned Books Week. Read more about it here.

Also, here is a list of classics that have been banned or challenged. Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne is on this list as a challenged book... which tells me that some people are seriously deranged.

In honor of the week (which I just learned about five minutes ago, so pardon my lack of information), I will read at least one of the books on the list. I'm going to try reading The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. I started it once before but feel that I've missed the right time in my life to read the book. We'll see if I'm right or if I can still appreciate it even though I'm not 16 any more.

If I finish that or decide that I want to read a different book, I'm going to read The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald.

Happy reading to everyone whether you're reading a banned book this week or not.
