That means that we defend the right to read whatever we want!
Though my free time to read is very limited at the moment due to being back in school, I do plan to listen to at least one audio in honor of this week.
Which book to listen to? Hmmm...
These ones are available on Overdrive:
Which one should I listen to?
We'll see which one can hold my interest. :)

Are you honoring this week?
Al Capone Does My Shirts sounds like a fun title!! I hope you had fun listening to an audiobook this week for Banned Books Week.
ReplyDeleteI totally did not finish The Catcher In The Rye... I read this novel in high school and liked it, but I found the leading character Holden Caulfield soooo immature, negative and annoying. I just couldn't get past the 1st 25% of the novel this go around and gave up on reading it.
Yeah...Al Capone Does My Shirts is a fun title. It's the reason why I decided to listen to this book instead. Though I didn't make it for the Banned Books Week (I am only a third into listening to the audio), I am highly enjoying and know that I will slowly finish it.
DeleteNow, when it comes to Catcher in the Rye, I complete understand. Holden is a very annoying character. I remember that he got on my nerves when we had to read it back in high school. But because I was a teenager, I found myself liking the book a little bit. However, if I try to read it today, I have a feeling that I would hate it. So don't feel bad about abandoning it. You did a favor to yourself. ;)
