IT'S BANNED BOOK WEEK! What's your school/library doing for it? What's your favorite banned book?
 Mine, of course, is Fight Club. Our school librarian is throwing a raffle (I can't recall the prize) to all that submit the name of their favorite banned book. What's sad is the fact that out of a school of 3,000+ people, the only three people to have submitted entries thus far is myself and my two friends.  They also showcased a bunch of banned books outside.

The Satanic Verses, by Salman Rushdie, caused a fatwe authorized by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran, against the author and the publication of his book. Many people died, and his books are banned in almost all Islamic nations, as well as in many western ones as well.
However, I haven't read it, and I've heard from some people that its a bit overrated. Has anyone read it who's willing to give me some feedback? I just realized that though I'm only on the second page of the Books forum, the last post before mine is from October 2006. Wtf is going on, POST IN BOOKS MORE. |
