Dai, you left out "from 50 countries" which was the end of the quote.

Personally, I can't stand Catcher in the Rye. No one in this article 
is talking about banning it from the school library which is what 
most of those religious groups espousing right wing dogma are talking 

about doing to HP...did I dream all those news stories about 
libraries and schools banning the book?

It is so dreary to read about anyone but white privileged men, isn't 
it? So pc, so multicultural....
