BANNING BOOKS is very unsexy.
Did you know that all of Mark Twain's books have been banned at one time or another?
Most people have probably heard about the more recent banning attempts against the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The more recent objections are because of the use of the "N-" word in the book.
Banned Books Week is coming up - September 30 through October 6.
This is one of my tribute pictures for Book View Cafe's upcoming homage to . . . Banned Books Week. Stay tuned.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Banning Books Is Un Sexy:
Edited by Kevin J. Anderson: L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future - The First 25 Years
I would be "1998" - contains an essay from me about why the contest was so meaningful and beneficial to me and others.
Amy Sterling Casil, edited by Dario Ciriello: Panverse Two
The second of Dario Ciriello's all-novella series. There's a reader review up and you'll definitely have to order this book, because I can tell that the "reviewer" didn't bother to read my story and appears to be doing a Harriet Klausner.
Amy Sterling Casil, edited by Kevin J. Anderson: Blood Lite II: Overbite
Edited by Kevin J. Anderson with featured authors Kelley Armstrong, R.A. Banks, Allison Brennan and Heather Graham - all members of the Horror Writers of America. Oh! It features Mr. Nocholson too. But I heard a rumor that my story was "editor's favorite" (and don't mean Kevin).
Algis Budrys: Hard Landing (Questar Science Fiction)
My adored A.J. - passed away June 9, 2008. This is my personal favorite book of his, and is the novel most recently published (1993). You will need to order a used copy of this small Warner paperback. It is of the highest literary quality. I am so grateful that I told him that in hard, solid writing - as soon as I'd read it.
Amy Sterling Casil: Imago (Alan Rodgers Books)
My first novel. Compared in reviews to "the best spirit of primo early Philip K. Dick" and "Amy writes like Ray Bradbury on real sci-fi."
Amy Sterling Casil: Without Absolution
My first collection - short fiction and poetry - from 1998 to 2000. Does not include "To Kiss the Star," but does include "Jonny Punkinhead." With introduction by James P. Blaylock.
Eliot Fintushel: Breakfast with the Ones You Love
Please, you must buy -- there is no alternative -- those who resist will become a different gender.
