Banned Book Week

The works of the authors you mention were all at the heart of criminal prosecutions/importation restrictions, etc., which is truly the test of a banned book. The above list, as Alex mentions, seems to be about selectivity for school children, where we all more readily agree a line should be drawn but disagree about where.

Hustler, however, is a good reminder of our freedoms, particularly when one recalls Jerry Falwell's unsuccessful libel/emotional distress suit. You might want to enjoy a Campari as you celebrate.
