Re: It sickens me as well, SG
The people who decide these things really need to look at their own selves before judging others.

It sickens me! I won’t rant. The entire concept is just all wrong. These books are books-simply literature. To ban that...

Re: Re: I couldn't agree more, Goldiec.
Sassy, I believe the freedom to choose the books we want to read is one of the most important rights we have.

Pat_B makes an excellent point though. It is what causes big time sales.
People always want what they cannot have.

The freedom to choose what we want to read should be a given.

Sassy, I personally think that everyone should get the chance to read "1984" it tells a lot about the world we live in today. There is another book titled "Atlas Shrugged" It was written in the '40s and has about 1,000 pages. It took me months but I read every page and it seems to mirror the time we are living now. I'm so glad that I did get a chance to read it. They are both scary books in terms of what could become of our world.
