In celebration of the freedom to read what we want, we are going to read again L'Engel's A Wrinkle in Time, Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, and Huxley's A Brave New World, part of the "American Library Association's top 100 list of "challenged" books". Yes, Dylan will be reading A Brave New World, in case you're wondering. I can't believe that Where's Waldo is part of the challenged list, however. Why would any one/group want to remove Waldo from public libraries across America? On the other hand, perhaps I can imagine why they would - children musn't know that women have boobs, it's imperative. About Harry Potter though, I must investigate, I'm behind on the times.
Just imagine book burnings in 2003, Farenheit 451 coming to life. What book would one choose to memorize? If it only had to be one? It would be oppressive just to chose one; the agony! Besides, I don't want to hide out in the forest beyond the tracks just because I've got a book in my head. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.
Here's the LIST, borrwo them, buy them, read them, and put out some fires.
