“I was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out the window and saw Mom rooting through a Dumpster.” #firstlinefridays #bannedbooks #blinddatewithabook

Marking #bannedbooksweek by sharing my copies of “Maus” and “Maus II” with a coworker who plans to read and discuss them with his 14-year-old daughter.

It's all about #bannedbooks for me this week. From the King himself: “When a book is banned, a whole set of thoughts is locked behind the assertion that there is only one valid set of values, one valid set of beliefs, one valid perception of the world. It‘s a scary idea, especially in a society which has been built on the ideas of free choice and free thought“ (Stephen King).

It is that time of year again!

What are some of your favorite banned books?

#BannedBooksWeek

Wikipedia tells me that Gordimer was a white South African of Jewish heritage who was a tireless anti-apartheid campaigner, political activist and HIV/AIDS advocate. She was an ANC member who advised Nelson Mandela on his 1964 defence speech, and was one of the first people NM asked to see upon his release from prison. No suprise, then, that this was one of the #BannedBooks under the apartheid regime.
