You may as well try to ban knowledge.<br /><br />Both literacy and literature are basic human rights as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />That all being said, I hope someone tries to ban my book if I ever get it published. There's nothing like a little controversy to raise awareness of a story.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-14770845426794673562010-09-21T12:10:44.994-04:002010-09-21T12:10:44.994-04:00I'm going to the bookstore today!

I think in a public library, any and all books should be available. In a school... well, books containing adult material/themes should not (like Twilight... I don't think is appropriate for elementary/early middle school).AndreaLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947251123686458404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-4681795111612200042010-09-21T09:53:52.835-04:002010-09-21T09:53:52.835-04:00Perfectly said.

The banned books list doesn't do anything anyway; those people are just wasting their time fighting against books when they could be volunteering instead! I don't know anyone who refuses to read the books on that list. Most of the books I've had to read for classes in grade school and high school. And I went to conservative Catholic schools, so if they think banning books is silly, then that's saying something!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-32069068098143311022010-09-21T09:21:50.142-04:002010-09-21T09:21:50.142-04:00awesome!!awesome!!Summer Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122694893668693244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-81005093267674834302010-09-21T08:04:15.791-04:002010-09-21T08:04:15.791-04:00Ahhh....LOVE this post (it)!!!Ahhh....LOVE this post (it)!!!Christine Fonsecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986034666903054819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-30400823243317986332010-09-21T07:51:22.154-04:002010-09-21T07:51:22.154-04:00Post-it shout out!!!
