I don't think anyone should be banned. If you don't like a book, set it aside.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
God forbid that any book should be banned. The practice is as indefensible as infanticide.
Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Don't write your books for people who won't like them. Give yourself wholly to the kind of book you want to write, and don't try to please readers who like something different.
I'm constantly running across people who have never heard of books I think they should read.
I don't for one second think about the possibility of censorship when I am writing a new book. I know I am a person who cares about kids and who cares about truth and I am guided by my own instincts, and trust them.
Free and fair access to books - to reading - is a right and one we should fight for.
Being an author of banned books is cool, I've decided.
What I find cool about being a banned author is this: I'm writing books that evoke a reaction, books that, if dropped in a lake, go down not with a whimper but a splash.
Few things in life seem more sexy than a banned book.
