    Hey, Coulter, you go, girl! Regarding banned books, I well remember The Most Dangerous Game. Mrs. Alger, our junior high English teacher, read it out loud to us in class–so we didn’t have the option not to read it, lol. And how about Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal?” Cure overpopulation by eating babies, right? I know it’s satire, but still! And how about “Catcher in the Rye?” We heard so much about it, we couldn’t wait to read it, even if it did turn out to be somewhat of a disappointment–not as racy as advertised by teenage word-of-mouth. And for fun, I read “The Godfather” in high school and learned for the first time ever that it’s possible to have your vagina sewed up if it’s too big for the average penis! Now I’m going to have to buy “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” to see what all the fuss is about–I’m sure the waiting list at the local library is far too long for me to get it anytime soon! Best wishes, Camille Fly Dautrich, Branson, Missouri

    Hey, Coulter, you go, girl! I well remember “The Most Dangerous Game.” Mrs. Alger, our junior high English teacher, read it out loud to us in class, so we didn’t even have the option not to read it. And what about “A Modest Proposal?” Curing overpopulation and hunger by eating babies? I know Jonathan Swift was a satirist, but still. And we couldn’t wait to read “Catcher in the Rye,” although Hogan Caulfield wasn’t as racy as teenage-word-of-mouth implied he was. Now I’m going to have to buy “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” and see what all the fuss is about! Keep up the good work as you try to keep the Valley from being overtaken by the right wingnuts! Best wishes, Camille Fly Dautrich (ps I tried to send a version of this before, and your website evidently thought I was a spammer, just in case you get it twice._
