Banned Books Week

In celebration of Banned Books Week I've decided to read at least one banned book a month this year. Wikipedia has a list of books that have been banned by various governments either currently or at one time or another in the past which seems like a good place to start. In an attempt to "ease" myself into this project I've decided to start with a classic that (I'm not exactly sure why) I have never read, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. ~ Noam Chomsky

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. ~ John F. Kennedy
