So, apparently this week is national banned books week. The whole point is to try and read as many books on the banned books list that you can. So, I took a look at the list....Holy crap!! Whoever makes up this list is retarded. I went through and counted, I've read 26 of the top 100 books. Of course, if you count the books that are in a series it'

I'm always confused by these. Are these books that are currently banned? Because some of the authors aren't really that old. I thought book banning was a thing of the past, though. Unless these lists are compiled from books that aren't allowed to be read in high school or elementary school because they're too adult or something like that.
I know I haven't come close to reading 26 of them! But that's what I get for spending all of my time reading books by Heinlein and Eddings. ^_^ Well, gives me some stuff to look for if I ever get around to going to the library!
