Also am a big fan though in this trilogy, I think it's The Flood that I think about the most . . though I like them all!

Cat's Eye changed my life! No joke! It set me on the path to discovering myself as a writer . . .

Always controversial to recommend Phillip Roth, it seems, but Plot Against America seems apt for the list . . .

Only when the people themselves begin to act are rights on paper given lifeblood. The method of nonviolent resistance is effective in that it has a way of disarming the opponent; it exposes his moral defenses, it weakens his morale and at the same time it works on his conscience. —MLK Jr.

The quote is taken out of context . . .if you disagree, explain why but don't censor. . .all the censorship did was have more people read it who didn't understand the censorship. The question is do you want to convince others of your side?

"those are good booms" is taken out of context . . .write a letter explaining why you find it so offensive instead of banning it . . censorship has just made everyone read it . .and some people do not understand why even that part is seen as offensive. Just write them off??? how does that help?
