RE: Banned Books Week is winding down
While you mention that some censored works are 'of little literary merit', the examples of such you provided are amongst the most significant literary merit of which I am aware.
Ray Bradbury's 'Fahrenheit 451', and Sinclair Lewis' 'The Jungle', etc. are perfect examples of why censorship sux0rs, and why it needs to end.
We are probably more censored now, online, than we ever have been in the past.
I thought I differentiated between the listed items as "literary merit" class, and the paranormal romances like Twilight as examples of the "no literary merit" category. Apologies if it wasn't clear.
