Writer's Block: Book review
[Error: unknown template qotd]
I think banning books is a moronic idea. To me, it's akin to burning books.
We do not live in the Middle Ages. We live in a modern time. We should not be acting like heathens and burning and banning books. It makes us look like we do not have the brains to think for ourselves.
I might declare that I will never allow the Twilight series in my house (I can so see Madi sneaking those across the thresh hold, just because she's "denied" them, LOL), but I would never attempt to really keep anyone from reading what they wanted.
I dealt with that when I was 19, and living with the DNA Donor. She and her husband threw away over $1,000 worth (used prices, BTW, not new) of romance novels because there was premarital sex in it. A couple of those books were purchased by my siblings, and to this day, I'm still on the hunt for them because of they hold sentimental value to me.
