You know, there was this banned books list meme that I wanted to do. It had 110 books that are challenged and the like, and you bolded any that you'd read. But I'd be sad to do it...I've only read ONE. (Bridge to Terabithia, which is SO not a book that should be 'banned'...it was reccomended to me by a FOURTH GRADE teacher, then a fifth grade one read it to her class. They say it's somehting about devil worship? Occult, something close to that. Where in the world did they get that from Terabithia. It's a FANTASY. Apparently, children using their imagination is wrong. Terribly, terribly sorry. Yeah, I'm bitter about this book. I loved it to pieces, and well I still do. I had to stop reading it at one point because I was about to cry on the bus. Yeah. I want to read it again...)

That was a very unexpected rant. Hmm.

Oh, and since we're reading To Kill A Mockingbird in class, I might've been able to count that, but eh. Two is a SAD number. I want to read them all now. Well, maybe not all of them. But Slaughterhouse 5? Oh, yes. And Arabian Nights, and Dracula, and Les Mis. Les Mis will be tricky. Maybe if I do the thing that Lisha did, and read a little version of the whole book first, then go to read the big one...oh, well. I'll find a way. It's just that 1200+ pages is a little threatening.

Les Mis is banned?! What the hell. It's SUCH a good book. And yes, it's a little overwhelming to look at this BIG HUGE book, but it's worth every second. (Better if you speak a little French though.)
