I like to participate in the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Crazy-for-Books whenever I have a Friday that isn't maddeningly busy. The Blog Hop is a great way to meet fellow book bloggers and follow new blogs that you may find interesting.
This weeks question is: “In honor of Banned Books Week, what is your favorite “banned or frequently challenged book”?”
Two of the books on the banned books list that I love are Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. I cannot even begin to understand what anyone could have found objectionable about these books but then I cannot banning books anyway.
Have a great week people and happy blog hopping.
I couldnt understand the logic behind the banned books either. Coming thru on the blog

Hi hopping through, hoping you will follow me back at http://www.beckvalleybooks.blogspot.com thks in advance
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I remember reading Diary of Anne Frank in 5th grade and the whole class giggling at Anne's descriptions of maturing. So I assume that's what people object to, but I think that's an insanely simplistic reason to object to an amazing and powerful book.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by, and I'm a new follower. Happy weekend with lots of reading!
I agree with your sentiments - what could possibly be objectionable about The Diary of Anne Frank??
ReplyDeleteI own The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime but haven't yet read it. I'll have to keep my eyes open for any offensive material :)
I too like Anne Frank book

Kat The Curious Incident... has some foul language but hardly objectionable. Especially when taken in context.
ReplyDeleteBanning is ridiculous. I don't see why people think they have the right to try and prevent other people from reading a book. I picked The Hunger Games.
