Banned Books Week: Slaughterhouse-Five
October 6th, 2007#69 (w00t!) on the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000
 Kurt Vonnegut |
While on the subject of burning books, I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and destroyed records rather than have to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House, the Supreme Court, the Senate, the House of Representatives, or the media. The America I loved still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

Angela Gunn at USA Today’s Tech_Space blog also covered Vonnegut this week.
