The Banned Book Library

There is a great post over at BoingBoing.net, about a kid who started keeping banned books in his locker. I think that it's awesome that he has started to encourage others to read the classics. Whenever I hear of anyone banning a book all I can think about is a great book by Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, it is the reason why the moment a society bans one book or censors speech that society finds objectionable it starts the ride down the slippery slope towards a police state.

Books should be read, not burned.
