I'm sure you know that it is Banned Books Week! It's the freedom to read books that have been banned in schools and states! (Well, it actually happened last week, but my Literature teacher decided to celebrate it this week) Any who, we have to do a book report on a book that has been banned for sexual content, racial slurs, explicit content, witchcraft, etc. Not all the banned books are in my school library, but my teacher explained that I can get it from our public library. So, after my Art Club, I asked my mother if I could go to the public library. We've only been to the public library once. And I still remember it. It was my first time getting a book from there. I got the book, "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie. Now, I read the little flap on the side of the book when you open it, and it mentioned demons and something about India. I immediately fell in love. I don't like watching scary movies, but I love learning about exorcisms and stuff like that. I especially love the Indian culture. It's very unique to me. So, I checked out the book and this book is over 500 pages. Dang. Thank goodness, my report isn't due till December. The only thing is that this book needs to be returned by October 31st. Crap. I better start reading. Also, I checked out a book from my school library. "The Lost Boy." The second book to "A Child Called 'It'" I've read the first book almost 100 times and wanted to read the second, third, and last book dearly. I wanted to know what happened to our brave author, Dave Pelzer. I'm already on chapter 2 and will continue to read it. I'll maybe start reading "The Satanic Verses" during my 3 day weekend. Yay! Good day everyone!
