Hi everyone. Wow, chocolate war, what an innocent title. Does anyone know if Phyllis is still on this list? I haven't been on here for years so she might be long gone.

Where exactly is this list of banned books posted. I'd like to take a peak and see what books are so unsuitable for the reading public according to whom I wonder?Julia----- Original Message ----- From: "Lora" <loravara@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 4:22 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Banned BooksHi Mayrie, I share the exact reaction you have toward this list of banned books. I want to get every one of them into the collection, just out of sheer contrariness. Many of these I've read; some I want to read, and a few Iwould never have thought to read, but when I see their names on this list, Iget angry.No one should have the power to tell me what I can and can't read. If you don't want to read a book, then don't, but leave it on the shelves so thatthose who do can do so in freedom.It's frustrating that we live in a country that once cherished freedoms, but somewhere along the way, that view has been modified. Now it's "You're free to do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't make someone uncomfortable."By the time we tend to everyone's discomforts, there's nothing left. My children read whatever they wanted to read; if they had questions orconcerns about a book, they always knew they could come to me. My motheralso never restricted what I read, but she didn't have to worry, because growing up all that was really available was NLS.I'm glad there are other like-minded Booksharians who will help add thesebooks to the collection. Count me in, if there's anything I can do. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mayrie ReNae Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2007 7:53 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Banned Books Hello Everyone, Am I the only one with a contrary disposition, or is anyone elsekeeping this list around so that we can make sure that all of these booksmake it into the BookShare collection? Think I'll try for one or two amonth from my library. That is, of course, unless my library has seen fitto ban them. If so, Ebay, and Amazon, here I come!
