    In honor of Banned Books Week, September 27-October 4, here's the ALA's list of most frequently banned or challenged books and book series since 2000, out of the 3,869 challenges reported to the Office of Intellectual Fr…

  • yet another book list

    It's been a couple of months since I did one of these. I found this very interesting unified list of the best 100 novels through a link at a library blog that I read. The ones I've read are in bold print. 1. Nine…
