...No worries about missing this week :) Next week!<br />Yes! about society being forward & backward. I wonder that all the time! I think there is just a big chunk of this country that is holding the rest of us back, but for the most part, I think we are becoming very progressive...especially this generation.

And a lot of those books have been banned from various libraries for decades or in the case of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, HUNDREDS of years. It just totally boggles me. Sometimes I wonder how society can be so forward and backward all at the same time. What a strange world we live in!<br /><br />Erinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373958835653258521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565520433167714928.post-25746641236730801852012-10-08T22:55:15.584-05:002012-10-08T22:55:15.584-05:00Great topic!

I was far too busy and totally missed the release of the first book. When the 2nd book came out I heard two different stories:<br />1. Kids were lining up around the block at midnight to get this book (a BOOK, not a video game or comic book but an actual BOOK) and<br />2. Lots of parents were against it, against kids reading it, wanted it banned, etc.<br /><br />I thought to myself...WOW, whatever this is it must be great to get those two reactions. I had to wait until after graduation to see what it was all about. Of course, I loved the books. But, even if I had hated them or if they had somehow offended me there's no way I would ever suggest they be banned (well, okay, maybe if they advocated doing harm to others but that's probably the only reason). I will never understand those who feel it is their right to impose their beliefs onto others.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110216985264203811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565520433167714928.post-55360098002991223882012-10-04T19:53:09.805-05:002012-10-04T19:53:09.805-05:00Ugh I didn't have time to participate this wee...Ugh I didn't have time to participate this week. <br /><br />However I LOVE that book-to-shirt company OMG!!

They would look great layered over a long sleeve shirt. <br />I can't believe how many book are on that list. <br />I really think anytime you tell someone they can't do something it just makes them more likely to go do it.
