Banned Books Week
In honor of Banned Books Week and to celebrate my freedom to read, this week I will be re-reading The Outsiders by SE Hinton, one of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books: 1990-1999.
As always, when I see a list of this nature, I get a bit pissed off and think, seriously? So come on, people, grab a banned book off your shelf and READ!
What banned book will you read this week?

I read this book back in elementary school - my friends and I used to quote from it all the time. I remember the movie version with all those young stars - Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, etc. (Sigh. I'm old.) I then went on and read TEX and RUMBLE FISH, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm rereading The Higher Power of Lucky. There's a post on my blog about it. Banned because of a single subversive word.
ReplyDeleteI just watched The Outsiders this week! Wasn't Swayze incredibly dreamy?
ReplyDeleteYay for reading what you love!
