- I'm glad that there's a page about banned books and that people are actually recognising the literary value that is continually shut out of public institutions. I found an interesting post about it at http://infloox.wordpress.com/ and you can also see a list of the top banned books that the ALA released recently.

- I find it ironic that many of the books that are continually challenged are also ones that have won awards and been on school reading lists and bestseller lists. Why does a small minority of people not see what everyone else does in these titles?
