They do? Sweet. I've been meaning to read "The Satanic Verses" to find out what the fuss is all about. I mean, getting a book banned is one thing, but having nations' religious establishments issue legal rulings encouraging people to kill you is quite another. I'll have to check the bookshare catalogue.

I'm in a book group with American Association of University Women. For September, we are going to read a new book by Salman Rushdi; the title has the word Empress in it.NLS has no books by Rushdi. My local library has no books by Rushdi. Bookshare has six books by Rushdi. I found that very interesting, and again hurray for bookshare.Lori Castner----- Original Message ----- From: "A. J.

I found a list ofALA "most challenged" books but I'm not sure these qualified as "banned".where can I find a good list of books that were banned bit time,and a goodstory behind the banning? I feel like I'm asking the list to do my home work, guess that's what is happening. I'll be glad to assemble a web page of banned books and their stories, if not already available.I'm a novice scanner, was thrilled to have my 3rd book accepted recently.
