such a dork!

Fuck the book burners

I've stated before that there are certains situations in which I can see the point of censorship. None of these situations involve forcing one's own morality on others by denying the presentation of contrary views or ideas.

Admittedly, this doesn't leave much room, and I'm okay with that.

Google Books has just published a list of 42 books that have been banned in the past or are somewhere threatened with banishment now. There are a number of books on there that I really like (Brave New World, Slaughterhouse Five, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, etc.), and many more that I really want to read.
