Actually the Old challenged authors are on the list, but it is in the Top
100 books, and the usual suspects are there including Mark Twain, and
Louis
Carroll, what could they object to in Alice in Wonderland I wonder?
Smile, some of them are obvious why, but others, I can't figure it out.

Puppies are the joy at one end.

Fascinating! Not one of the "old" banned authors is
on the list, but they are books for adults, and
probably the people who "contest" the books are more
worried about children--although Forever is for
adults, as I recall. Maybe these people are too young
to have even heard about Henry Miller, D. H. Lawrence,
and James Joyce; Memoirs of Fanny Hill; Memirs of
Hecate County.

since this is Banned
Books Month, and as many have implied in the past
that the blind and
physically handicapped were censored as a fashion by
NLS's budget and
Bookshare has removed that barrier, smile, as it
accepts anything, which is
a truly wonderful thing, see the below web page on
the topic, I find it
fascinating. And naturally, since I like reading
the stuff, may be seeing
if I can add to the sites content in this way.
But a fascinating page.
