A Banned Book Conversation

By

Don’t You Dare Read This! Get your attention? I know when I was a kid if I was forbidden or even encouraged to NOT do something—whatever it was—that really piqued my interest. I just had to see what was forbidden. You know, like snooping for Christmas presents or eating an olive off the guest buffet. And although I was never told I couldn’t read something… reading was considered a harmless activity in my home (and kept me entertained and not talking so much)… I do remember those days in junior high where we would gather in a friend’s attic and read the “juicy” parts of something someone had found in “True Confessions” and other lurid periodicals. Half the time we didn’t even understand what we were reading and giggling about it.

If you would like to know some of the history of banned books and discuss some of the current activity regarding the same, please plan to attend Sunday School for Adults on April 21.
