Don't get me wrong, I love the book I'm about to mention, but THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy was on the restricted list. <br /><br />**Spoiler Alert**<br />It was suggested that a baby was eaten in that book!! And that was okay as long as it wasn't by vampires? WTF?? LOL. <br /><br />I just don't think that any book should be censored. In any case, you rock! :-DTyhitia Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070000168178880911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841313386470460888.post-6533861592140284352009-10-18T16:01:48.664-07:002009-10-18T16:01:48.664-07:00So, for those interested, I'm posting a respon...So, for those interested, I'm posting a response including a mock letter to the editor on behalf of Richelle on my blog fantasyliterature.com/news. The article will go up Monday AM and is entitled "Warning: This novel may cause teenagers to engage in sexual fantasies about vampires that may not be entirely realistic."

He actually stopped melting his brain with Xbox 360 to read the series.<br /><br />In any case ... free thinkers unite!

Honestly, I bet your book sales go up in the region...it will be like forbidden fruit. I know if someone told me this is just not appropriate for you to read, I would be all over it. Curiousity. :) <br />My parents made sure I only watched ok things on TV. I was not allowed to watch Dirty Dancing for the longest time. <br /><br />You are in some great company. :)Heather Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7841313386470460888.post-54692665734369825242009-10-16T14:03:57.626-07:002009-10-16T14:03:57.626-07:00Oh, for cryin' out loud!

I guess Jeremy doesn't stand alone as the only banished one here now.<br /><br />I took a look at that list and there's one on there that really had me wondering...WTH?!!<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Pet-Puppy-Honor-Head/dp/1841383562/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_5" rel="nofollow">My Pet Puppy by Honor Head</a><br /><br />Looked it up on Amazon.<br /><br />I mean...really?! What the heck in this book that teaches children about being a good pet owner is there to ban? Are there questionable pictures of dogs mating? Perhaps one of a dog rolled over on it's back exposing itself in a lewd manner? Give me a break.<br /><br />It still boggles my mind that this day and age people still need to ban books. Like you, Richelle, I have no problem with parents being involved in what their kids read. I certainly wouldn't want some dictating to my child (if I had one other than the four-legged, furry variety) what they can and can not read. In fact, I would be tempted to acquire each on the list for them and tell them to have a blast. <br /><br />Anyway, Richelle, I'm sorry, but at least you're in good company on that list.Daelithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831617918862951954noreply@blogger.com
