Banned Books Week

"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing."
—Harper Lee, "To Kill a Mockingbird"

The American Library Association would like to remind us that many of us live in a world where intellectual freedom does not exist.

Minds lesser than most would like you to believe that for your OWN GOOD, you shouldn't be reading certain books, even if you are 18 or older, and can very easily make up your own mind.

Yes, it's okay to drive, vote, and join the army, but PLEASE don't read that book, it could be dangerous.

The question remains, how and why are these books dangerous and for whom?
