Banned Books Week

I'm on a crushing deadline, so I have very little time to blog right this minute, but I wanted to call people's attention to the fact that this is Banned Books Week. The American Library Association and many others will be honoring that most American of freedoms (the freedom to think for yourself) by supporting books and authors who have been banned.Among the top ten most banned books of 2007:The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (#5)The Golden Compass (#4)The Color Purple (#6)Interesting factoid. Sarah Palin, used her power as Mayor of Wasilla to fire a librarian who refused to ban books. The public fought back and had the librarian reinstated. Take that, Palin, you would-be book banner.
