Meeting: March 30 2:45 A 238 Moderator: Marcy Gamzon A brilliant novel and instant New York Times bestseller from the author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette , about a day in the life of Eleanor Flood, forced to abandon her small ambitions and awake to a strange, new future. Eleanor knows she's a mess. But today, she will tackle the little things. She will shower and get dressed. She will have her poetry and yoga lessons after dropping off her son, Timby. She won't swear. She will initiate sex with her husband, Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action, life happens. Today, it turns out, is the day Timby has decided to fake sick to weasel his way into his mother's company.

ReplyDeleteI would argue that creating a banned book list is a good thing. The controversy and discussion actually inspire people to read more books. However, in the current world, the idea of banning books would seem to be a moot point. The actual number of students and reading books and the number of books read would appear to be a very small percentage of the overall population. With that being said the real issue with the banned books list is that it is just a starting point. If books are allowed to be banned without protest, what would be the next media source would be banned or censored?
