Somebody I know Xcheck24 also follows on twitter has posted a couple things on her tumblr about Banned Books week (this week).

I particularly like the line: Free people read freely.

I also like her challenge to:

Of those on that part of the list I've read 5. I might want to check out the whole list to see how many of them I've read. Coming from an education back ground I'm familiar with almost all of them even if I haven't read them.

I've also read 5 (which is actually more since I've read the entire HP series).

From the top 100 list, I noticed Brave New world made it by 1984 did not. Last year I read both of these books... I read Brave New World in school but had never been required to read 1984. I decided to take it upon myself to do so.

What a powerful and eye opening book that is!!

Of this list, I have only read one. I have the Harry Potter series but I'm just not interested in starting them. Many of these books are not something I would normally want to read.

Both good books.

I'm still puzzling over the adjective, "returning to their Orwellian gated communities." A reference to 1984?
