Banned book? Oooh...that makes it sound even better. I am on my way to the library. I will pick it up. Thanks!
I can't tell why it was banned in North Carolina. Do you know?
And, btw, I came across this interesting webpage listing some banned books http://sshl.ucsd.edu/banned/books.html
The list includes this book, Isabel Allende's "La Casa de Los Espiritus," "Gorillas in the Mist," and - get this - the "American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language."
Imagine that. Dictionaries getting banned!
they even have Hemmingway on the list at one point...jeez.
I guess someone didn't appreciate the language and sexual content from what I read.
