montims:
I'm sorry - I don't understand - why would Harry ban Anne Frank, or Hermione
ban Mark Twain?  I would add, not wishing to be provocative or anything, and
willing to be corrected, that I feel the banning is more of an American than
a British thing, for whatever political or religious reason.  Do they try to
censor books as much in Britain?
