Hello, I just read your Sunday Salon entry, I don’t work or anything and I can’t keep up with what you do. But I’ve finally found a central location for posts on the subject of banned books. It’s not much but I posted a banned books list I came across and my reaction is here:
http://freshinkbooks.blogspot.com/2008/09/only-your-librarian-knows-for-sure.html

I encourage people to take the list if it interests them and a link back to me would be nice, but is certainly not required. Thank you.

Banned Books Week is “shameless propaganda … now institutionalized with a week of its own.”

“Those who are spreading hysteria about book banning and censorship know that they are in a war, but too many of those who thoughtlessly repeat their rhetoric do not.”

See who said this (not me) and more here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/sowell

Even a former ALA Councilor said:

“It also highlights the thing we know about Banned Books Week that we don’t talk about much–the bulk of these books are challenged by parents for being age-inappropriate for children. While I think this is still a formidable thing for librarians to deal with, it’s totally different from people trying to block a book from being sold at all.”

Starting tomorrow I’m going to highlight a different banned/challeneged/censored book I own and have read every day during banned books week. Each post will go up at 2pm Central.
