It's banned books week, yo! How are you sticking it to the man by reading a book? Lately I've (unintentionally) read a few books that are frequently banned - the entire work of JD Salinger and a lovely little book of prose poetry called What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones. For book club, we intentionally choose a banned book: The Satanic Diaries by Rushdie.
Ah: I've been thinking of reading The Satanic Verses myself. Must be something in the air...
I've been doing a lot of history/poli sci reading about the settlement of Mississippi/Arkansas. Trying to come to a definite position on my hate-love relationship with Mississippi. But I took a break to read a really fun set of short stories by Danielle Evans: Before You Suffocate Your Fool Self. Very edgy, very woman-centric issues of the day. Really enjoyed it.
Not so rebellious but you know, if you rebel as directed that's not really rebellion...
