Books banned in some or all parts of the world. My goal is simple; to read as many as I can and to first see if their available at a public library. Why? Because free education and the freedom to publish is threaten. I love reading, am thankful to be able to read, and think all books (even poorly written ones) have the right to exist; to withhold others from reading is insulting because censorship assumes that the reader has no personal judgment. It is also a way to control others; to prevent certain information from being known.
