For what it's worth, I immediately assumed the blog title meant what it actually meant - books that have, at one time or another, been banned in the US. :)

To those saying Iran and China are worse - yes, but we *expect* dictatorial censorship from dictators. We don't expect it from a country that celebrates its freedom of speech.

@Kevin George: I don't think the original meaning of the N word is offensive; it's offensive because of the way it's been used as a derogatory word, and now the word itself is a slur, regardless of original meaning.

I love how the people who ban these books are utterly missing the point of most of the books. An anti-racism book - let's ban it because it uses racist terms, albeit to show racism in a negative light!

Thanks for the article - an interesting read. :)
