  • Let all of us read a banned book everyday.... and as the vid says, and Voltaire, Think for yourselfs and let others enjoy the priviledge to do soo too. The censors are the most devilish, narrowminded, ignorant people....

  • "offensive" is a VERY relative term and is misused all to often with regards to language. Also i was upset (although not surprised) to see some of these books on this list for homosexuality, especially "And Tango Makes Three" for homosexuality alone. Straight or gay, love is love no mater whom it's with. I don't read much but reading a banned book sounds like a splendid idea!

  • lol like all of these are in my library

  • Perks of being a wallflower for religious viewpoint?

  • Twilight should have been banned for being poorly written.

  • Twilight is not sexually explicit, and To Kill A Mockingbird and The Catcher in the Rye are classics! 

  • @TheArcCaster Exactly. Some knowledge is best kept occult.

  • Twilight sexually explicit? Unsuited? For who?

  • Right so while your off bickering about gay penguins I construct meth labs and napalm from the anarchist cookbook and read mein kampf.

    Fucking dumbshits.

  • LMAO. But ban the twilight series as much as you want, I don't care about that. ;D

  • You want your kids to turn out to be dumbasses with no pivoting sense of individualism or "wrong or right"? I tell you, you may confine their tangible physical being into little boxes of oblivion, sexuality into "straight" lines, ignorance of heartbreaking events such as racism, or whatever shit humans have commited but you will never, and can NEVER take away what humans have done, what this society has regressed to, what innate feelings reside among each and every one of us by banning books

  • What??? A lot of those are American CLASSICS!! The Catcher in the Rye?? To Kill a Mockingbird?? COME ON! I had to read those for school. The Color Purple is another honorable book. Who ever wants to ban those books are retarded bigots man.
