How to read banned books. by mjonhunt

"That was a banned bok?"

How I did it: I printed a list of frequently challenged and banned books from the Banned Books Week website.  Of the 100 books listed, I have already read 14 of them.  I can't believe Wind in the Willows was one of them.

    Nothing could be smarter, more splendid, more brilliant, better drawn up than two armies. Trumpets, fifes, hautboys, drums, cannons, formed a harmony such as never been heard in hell.

    Where else but in a world where all is for the best?
