So many challenged and banned books, so little time. Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five is part of my Top 10 Favorite books (banned or otherwise). He survived the bombing of Dresden after being captured by the Germans in WWII, and left us this "post-modern anti-war science-fiction novel."
In the interest of equal time for opposing viewpoints, here's Linda Harvey's take on the "smoke screen of hypocrisy" behind Banned Books Week. Not sure how much credit I should give to an article that appears with an ad promoting "how you can flush 5-20 pounds of waste from your colon," so I'll let you decide. So it goes.
UPDATE: Just found this from "banned" author Philip Pullman (The Golden Compass) - Linda Harvey's efforts are futile.
