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.

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.
