Lent the first 4 Harry Potter books (hardbacks too) to a dear friend over the summer of 2005. The 5th book was coming that July and she wanted to get them read by then. Her dad found her reading them and gathered other Christies. My term for ignorant hypocritical mega-religious Christians. Kinda like the Karens of Christianity.
Anywho, they did a book burning and included any and all Harry Potter books or magazines they got their hands on. Later on my mom threatened to sue for lost property and emotional damages. He quickly repaid the price of books and apologized.

Gone With the Wind was a movie that my class watched in US Government. I fell asleep during it and have not watched it since. Of course, that also happened during the Hobbit (or whichever movie is chronologically first. I loved a Wrinkle in Time from the first watch. Now I own the movie. I've seen Carrie and a few other movies/books on this list, but not all of them. My theory is: if you don't like a book or movie. don't watch it. Banning it only ruins it for those who want to read/watch it.

I've read about 90% of these books and seem maybe 50% of the movies. And although not all of them were my cuppa tea, I'm sure glad I had the freedom to make that decision on my own. I can see age restriction, possibly, but it sure seems like we have a whole bunch of big kids who are easily hurt nowadays, because they grew up in bubbles of protection. Sticks and stones for those of you who know. I don't know if they allow children to hear that rhyme anymore.

Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
Eating homemade pizza. while watching this Weird History video!
Nothing like watching a classic movie with the classic homemade pizza!
Inspired from the Weird History video Every Pizza Style We Could Find In the United States
Eating the pizza with red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese on the top.
o I made the pizza sauce with tomatoes I grew from the garden and using an internet recipe.

To Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies were both required reading at my school. We also watched the film for both after reading each book.
TKaM is still one of my favorites from school and i made sure to grab a copy when i saw it in a used bookstore. Gregory Peck is still an incredible Atticus

I didn't read Lord of the Flies or To Kill a Mockingbird for school - we had other requirements when I was finishing up - but both are great books. I can see why some prudes would want them banned, but I read them both for pleasure when I was 17 or 18 and they were both great.

1: 58 The book The Color Purple is an example of an epistolary, it is a novel told through written letters.
It's such a great book, whenever I think of an epstolary I think of it first!
Also, December 7th is National Letter Writing Day (my birthday.

I bought and read Peyton Place when I was 19 years old in 1961 because it was banned in many libraries, some states and several countries. including Canada. for being obscene. I wasn't impressed. I wouldn't have purchased it if it hadn't been banned.

BANNED LOLZ. Big Lie Video this is.
Public stewards electing NOT TO WASTE PUBLIC FUNDS on trash, e. g, Carrie by that dipskip Stephen King, is not a banning. People can still go to bookstores or that AZ site and buy it.

I saved this video so that I can go and buy every one of these books. Except for 1. I already have a beautiful copy of gone with the wind. I've seen a lot of the screen adaptations of these books, but reading is. fun-damental

4: 34 Carrie is a fantastic film!
Before I watched the whole film, I saw the clip about the pig's blood in one of my friend's room. the same room I would later move into and borrow the book Lord of the Flies from him.

Wait, they actually banned To Kill A Mockingbird I remember my high school teacher reading out chapters of it in class and finding funny replacements for some of the more problematic words in the book.

1A is first for a reason. Its the most critical to a free society. Its there to protect the awful speech not just the kind stuff. People are ruined for hate speech. That does as much damage as book bans

I love this narrator, he is more expressive. He also has better timing with the one liners sprinkled in the script to keep it entertaining. Find the other narrator rather dry and almost monotone.

Lets not forget Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis. The book is brilliant. And to my mind, To Kill a Mockingbird is the Great American Novel and is one of my favorite movies.

I would love to see a big budget adaptation of the satanic VS, but unfortunately anyone who participates in the creation of that wood get eliminated by the #ReligonOfPeace

To Kill a Mockingbird is still one of my favorite books. I had to read it for 7th grade English (at a private school, gasp) and fell in love with the characters and story.

I find it interesting that Gloria Steinem found the book of American Psycho misogynistic only for her own step-son to play the main character in the film version.
