It's banned books week ...

... in the USofA.
We don't have anything similar, that I could find with a quick Google, here in Australia.
We should.
My American friends, your mission, should you chose to take it, is to go out and buy and read a banned book. If a book is banned in your area, go to your Public Library and ask for it! Banning can lead to burning, and that mustn't happen.

I've read most of these but never Lady Chatterly - must go find it!

Zoomie, I'd have expected nothing less! DHL is a bit of a wanker really, but of course I read Lady Chatterly in high school, most publicly, daring 'them' to snatch it from my virginal grasp!

What an excellent post.
I'm embarrassed to report that I didn't realize Banned Books Week was September 26 - October 3.
Thanks for the heads up!

Lee, it's in my diary, banned books make me ever so cross!
