Hemingway was banned? Don’t encourage him, people.

Ulysses is only number 6? *sulks* And what about Dubliners? You know, for years they couldn’t even find a printer for that shit.

regarding charlotte’s web: aren’t most books that feature talking animals banned by groups that say it’s wrong to present animals as equal to humans?
