Reading Circle Community Group
A group for folks in all walks of life in any situation that want to expand their minds or occupy themselves away from a pressing matter and delve into reading good literature. Activities will include but are not limited to discussions on books read, recommendations on what to read, and critical analysis to broaden appreciation for old and new literature.
I was curious as to this rumor and i found an article in the times website about Palin banning books because of her religious beliefs. What do you think? I'm reposting the list of banned books below as well as a link to the original article on the times paper.
