Banned Books Week

It's the 25th anniversary of Banned Books Week. The Vatican stopped banning books in 1948, after 400 years, but the propagation of virtue and prevention of vice is non-denominational. The American Library Association sponsors Banned Books Week and has lists of recently banned, challenged, and burned books. Amazon and Google have lists of banned books for purchase; and the University of Pennsylvania has links to online texts of banned books.
