my mother was not a censor; I thank her for that

Books, art and music are banned much too frequently in our "free" country.

[norah_j]

That is so true...I saw some of your art by the way. The photos I had seen previously do not do it justice, you are very talented

We must hang out sometime when you are in NY still. Maybe go read books and discuss over pizza or coffee.

[norah_j]

I'd love to, books, coffee, and or pizza all work for me. :)

[s_johansson]

I only figured since we are both young and beautiful ( and you are talented ) we should hitch up and form a team in NYC.

[norah_j]

lol Yeah, if we put our heads together we could probably take over the whole damn city.

I hate not having more time to read. We should start a book club here.

[norah_j]

Good idea!

Hearing that a book has been banned always makes me more inclined to read it. I once looked up a list of banned books and then made a trip to the bookstore to aquire a few. The Chocolate War and The Giver were two of those. Both excellent books that teach valuable lessons.

I do that same thing, seeking out what someone has said shouldn't be...

Great book, great song, hell everything's great. I had a small part in a movie based on that book.

I recommend "Cat's Cradle". Bizarre stuff. It'll linger in your mind for days after you finish reading it.

I think I saw the movie, but I didn't realize you were in it, how cool. Thank you for the suggestion, I"ll check that one out asap :)
