Well, banning books sucks big time! In M?xico the concept doesn?t exist as such, it's actually weird to ban a book (I have seen the Marquis de Sade?s books next to Harry Potter in some supermarkets, hahaha), but today I asked at a library if they carried Salman Rushdie's The satanic verses and they do not. It's not banned, but because of the controversy of the book in other countries the editorial house stopped its printing a few years back. Well, that's pretty much like banning it! I will get it from Amazon one day!

I completely agree. There are so many great novels that I have read, and are on the great American novels list that have at some point been banned. Controversial novels are important for broadening our minds and are so they need to remain available to the public.awelker wrote:For my college composition class in school we are writing position papers and this is my topic, book banning. what is your opinion of this subject? I think that it is a dumb idea to ban books because is restricts a persons freedom of speech and press.

So in my opinion, book banning is still alive and well in some circles.
