John Steinbeck
Maya Angelou
Mark Twain
James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier
J.D. Salinger
Jean M. Auel
Toni Morrison
Judy Blume

These were the authors that most suprised me.....

What is sad about this is that these works are fiction, and are based on an era of American History and what society was like....and to ban or censor them from anyone is wrong. I believe that it is the choice of the individual to read these or not. I believe that no other person but myself should have a say in what is available for my children or myself to read.

And..........as far as the Harry Potter series.... bah!!!! It is a world of make-believe!!! If the people who want to ban these books feel as if they are protecting me and mine, they are wrong!!! If they don't want to read them for fear these books will turn them into satanists... ((LMAO)) then that is their choice.... (I bet they read the National Enquirer - space aliens will abduct you if....)
