Banned Books Week 2010
Once again, it is Banned Books Week, one week I feel is most definitely worth noting. I dashed off to the library this evening (a bit literally, too, as I was on foot and in a hurry) to pick up:
- The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
- Lois Duncan’s Killing Mr. Griffin
- Captain Underpants and the Big, Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy Part 2: The Revenge of the Ridiculous Robo-Boogers from Dav Pilkey
I was aiming for Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, but not finding it diverted my ship. Ironically, despite borrowing all those books, I might start reading Alice Walker’s The Color Purple from my own collection because I need something very portable tomorrow and it has been on my reading list for a while. Sorry, book group: the book I should read for the upcoming meeting might just have to wait.
