I must say, I found a few parts of ttyl unnecessarily vulgar (but yeah, probably realistic). But that's not why I quit reading it--I just found it difficult to follow the style of book, written in IM format. I wasn't getting any sense of the characters--it read more like a play (name, colon, dialogue). The names weren't sinking in or meaning anything to me. Very creative format, however.

I can remember reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey my senior year and being blown away by it. To think, if some had their way, my kids would never get the privilege of reading it is just horrifyingly wrong!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736441732672508192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991416410311733321.post-82350315052947817152012-10-04T05:09:24.846-07:002012-10-04T05:09:24.846-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736441732672508192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991416410311733321.post-44832435844572177742012-10-04T05:09:06.783-07:002012-10-04T05:09:06.783-07:00So true.

There is noting in these books that can be worse than that.

She said that the books that end up banned, are the most honest ones, because people fear reality. I have to say I agree. Lindsay N.

I happily re-read it every few years! I wonder what that list will be for 2012. It's a shame there's a list like that at all. It's sad to think there are people out there who won't be reading these books because their school or library refuses to carry them. However, there is a silver lining to banning books: it usually means the challenged book is going to receive a lot of attention and people are going to want to read it even more!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991416410311733321.post-51347148178474259972012-10-03T10:50:07.064-07:002012-10-03T10:50:07.064-07:00It really is hilarious that so many books are bann...It really is hilarious that so many books are banned for being inappropriate when there's kids in high and school and middle school having sex, hiding teen pregnancies, and watching porn.
