heeeeeh, I am right along with you and your contrarism, but was thinking of 
using the public library system to do it, the Budget is very, very small at 
the moment.

Thank you for this link!  Just reading the 100 most challenged books is
disturbing to me.  Many of these books are books I read as a young girl.

I want to go purchase all of the top 100 that aren't on Bookshare, and get
them scanned.  I'm contrary like that.  Besides, many of these are excellent
reads that should not be denied to us or anyone else.

PS:  Unfortunately, I'll probably contribute my contraryism a few books at a
time so that the budget doesn't crumble to bits.

O.k. proves I am a moderate in most things, but... 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.
