Last week was Banned Book
Week: a time when Americans
were reminded to exercise their
right to read whatever they
choose.
This right is constantly under
fire across the country. Books are
literally burned for containing ma
terial that offends somebody.
Many of these books are clas
sics we were required to read in
high school or favorites we read
after school for fun. These books
contain such offensive material as
the word “bitch” when referring
to a female dog in My Friend
Flicka. Other books are banned
because they are scary, about the
human body or political incorrect.
One of the top banned books
of all time is the Bible. Back in
Johannes Gutenberg’s day, all
Bibles were banned — by Chris
tians! Today, The Living Bible
is banned by some because it is
written in modern English.
Heaven forbid if people actually
understand what they are read
ing!
If you, like me, are curious
about what it is that others don’t
want you to read, pick up a banned
book today. Celebrate your right
to read.
