The thing is, as soon as you label something 'evil' (for whatever reason) and ban it, others will want to read it (humans are contrary and curious creatures :) <BR/><BR/>I've read all of the Harry Potter books, and all of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials (HDM) trilogy and enjoyed them immensely. Reading HDM did not make me rush out and question a specific religion...but it did make me think about religion in general and it's role (and I don't think 'thinking' is a bad thing). I wish those that would ban books would realise that I have a brain and can self determine...I am not a sheep (no offence to sheep intended).<BR/><BR/>orannia<BR/><BR/>PS Why is it that when I think of banning books I always remember the photos of the Nazis burning books?oranniahttp://orannia.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473707319947090916.post-1309890362960565352008-09-29T14:10:00.000-04:002008-09-29T14:10:00.000-04:00My favorite banned book is either Harry Potter or ...My favorite banned book is either Harry Potter or Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.Ciarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09976497239726167676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473707319947090916.post-34764258164674378872008-09-29T13:26:00.000-04:002008-09-29T13:26:00.000-04:00I was just composing a post for my blog about bann...I was just composing a post for my blog about banned book week as well.

You have a choice to either pick up the book or not, so why the heck should those people care. There is controversy everywhere...is the news not controversial at times...do they try to ban and censor that? Everything in our world is controversial if you don't believe the way the ones who complain do. You can't ban a culture or a religion or a race of people, so why waste the time to ban a book. It's a choice and no one should be powerful enough to take that choice away from someone to read.Amy Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12832983748006739171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473707319947090916.post-91585443656251518292008-09-29T09:21:00.000-04:002008-09-29T09:21:00.000-04:00Jill: I have read Lolita 3 times, the first time w...Jill: I have read Lolita 3 times, the first time when I was sixteen and like you I found it to be an excellent book even though the story with an 40 + man and a thirteen year old girl disturbing.Katiebabshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15958121742156171756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473707319947090916.post-18526254522420667232008-09-29T09:12:00.000-04:002008-09-29T09:12:00.000-04:00I have to say banning books has the opposite affec...I have to say banning books has the opposite affect for me. If a book is on a banned list, I am going to wonder why and then I will read it just to find out. The only banned book I have read that I can think of is <I>Lolita</I>. Surprisingly, I thought it was a really good book. Don't get me wrong it was totally creepy, but it was facinating too, to see how this guy's mind worked.Jill D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.com
