It's just not right. I was curious about "Where's Waldo" too.<BR/><BR/>Bluestocking - I finished reading The Tenth Case this morning. I enjoyed it. It had it's slow moments, but overall I liked how the author told the story.<BR/><BR/>Sylvie - You wrote: "If you do not agree, just do not read it . . ." And I say, exactly! It really is that simple. Unfortunately there are some people out there who insist on trying to dictate what each of us reads.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing the information about "Where's Waldo?"<BR/><BR/>Iliana - Oh, yes! I agree! I have a tendency to want to read books that are challenged or banned just to see what the fuss is about. After all, I can't make an informed decision for myself without actually reading the book, right? Not that I would recommend banning any.<BR/><BR/>Florinda - It is good to be different now and then. :-) <BR/><BR/>I am glad you enjoyed "9 to 5" too! It was so much fun. I hope it does well too!<BR/><BR/>Jen - LOL No, it probably would scare a few cabby's away. <BR/><BR/>April - I noticed there were mixed reviews about it too. I've been trying not to read them. I am not too far into it yet--I got engrossed in one of my other books and that's taken all of my attention. It does sound good, so I'm hoping I will like it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Carrie K - Haha! Yes, some of the titles really don't interest me either.<BR/><BR/>I like to think Parker is at the door when I come home from work each day to greet me, but I think he really is just hoping to sneak out one of these days. Ho hum. <BR/><BR/>Shana - I thought it was a good one. :-) I really liked Pillars of the Earth too. <BR/><BR/>Alice - Same here in regards to the banned list. I'm glad you enjoyed the teasers. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-21822043319522445972008-10-02T02:40:00.000-07:002008-10-02T02:40:00.000-07:00Love the teasers, Wendy!

If they could be swayed by a novel, there's not much thre. <BR/><BR/>You've been busy while I've been touring CA! Practical Magic is one of my faves. The movie was so-so to it, but aren't they usually? And I've got to stop reading your lists/reviews, they just make me add to my overwhelming shelves. OTOH......someday.......<BR/><BR/>Parker.

I'm glad you have joined me in NOT doing memes on their appointed day :-)!<BR/><BR/>Totally off topic: I saw "9 to 5: The Musical" last night, and it was SUCH a good time! I think the actress who played Doralee played Glinda when I saw <I>Wicked</I>, and she definitely has her Dolly Parton thing down! And I like Allison Janney in almost anything. I hope it's a hit when it goes to Broadway next spring!Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-75641829426882485982008-10-01T10:11:00.000-07:002008-10-01T10:11:00.000-07:00I've read 21 from the list...

Martin Handford. Little. Challenged at the Public Libraries of Saginaw, Mich. (1989), Removed from the Springs Public School library in East Hampton, N.Y. (1993) because there is a tiny drawing of a woman lying on the beach wearing a bikini bottom but no top.

If you do not agree, just do not read it, do not "dictate other people's taste!<BR/>This has a BIG BROTHER approach... not good. Thank-you for the list Wendy.

I think both classifications are ridiculous, but why in the heck is "Where's Waldo" on this list, lol?? I actually searched the book and author just to make sure that there wasn't a novel out with the same title but not the same cartoon main character. From ALA's website: "Books usually are challenged with the best intentions—to protect others, frequently children, from difficult ideas and information." How does Waldo fit into this? Maybe the thought of being in such crowds is disturbing to children, heheh.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800486445283528676noreply@blogger.com
