Check it out, everybody! My new reading list!

As a lifelong reader, I would just like to make the point that there is no such thing as a 'harmful' book. Language like that is just going to be used by these morons later on as an excuse to 1) ban them from schools, or 2) burn them. And yes, I know that the specter of burning books might very well be cliche to some people, but Phyllis Schafly was on the list of 'judges' for this, and I don't put anything past that dingbat.

We have Friedan and Kinsey on the same list as Hitler. Just when I think they can't get dumber.

I agree with you. There is no such thing as a bad book. Besides. All those books look good.

Well, um, I am going to avoid Mein Kampf, etc. LOL Not because I agree with Phyllis Shitfly (oops, did I cuss? ;-)) but because I know that reading something like that would just put me in a Terminal Bad Mood for a while due to ranting.

And I cannot take credit for the joke on Schafly's name; I read it in a Harlan Ellison essay a while back and it was too good to not pass on. Heh.
