I find it hilarious that generally the books people want to ban have some literary merit (I said *generally*). In the public library I always want to ask the people to whom I'm handing a reconsideration form if they've read any of the Lora Leigh threesome books we have. Probably not, they're checked out with a waiting list. I suspect she’s working off of some list she got from x group.

Two things happen in this scenario that are correct and not crazy: 1 - You read the entire book and made an informed decision. Good for you. 2 - You decided to not let your child read it but have decided that the rest of us can parent our own children. I appreciate the vote of confidence in my parenting skills even of they collide with yours. I am of course that implying that banning books is crazy. Because it is.
