I like this website: Flashlight Worthy Books. Was referred to me this evening on Twitter.
For those of you who do not see the point of Twitter, please allow me to explain (one day; not now. I'm tired). There's plenty of smart, incisive content and commentary going on at Twitter, believe. it. or. not.

Very nice, but not ambitious enough for "best of all time" list?
ReplyDeleteAnd "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" not the best sci-fi novel?
"Watchmen" not the best graphic novel?
Besides that, I loved the banned books list.
This may not be totally on topic, but I really dislike that schools have the ability to ban books. It makes me feel like the administrators are trying to hide something. Something groundbreaking. I feel like they’re depriving me of my right to obtain knowledge. It’s not so much that I really want to read a certain book on the banned list, but I’d like the option of being able to choose to read a banned book.
