She asks for it at least once a week. I think I'll celebrate by reading it to her twice this week! :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447715870208593008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026702090530441760.post-50395822369764237842011-09-27T14:29:00.055-07:002011-09-27T14:29:00.055-07:00And, answering the question:

We watched the most recent movie on DVD and summarized it afterward as "Do you want the manipulative abusive boyfriend or the raging abusive boyfriend?" It's not as much of a typical "banned book" as others that are banned for political or clearly described ideological reasons, but I could see Twilight pinging the "ban this" sensibilities of both Southern Baptists and super leftists alike.<br /><br />We found ourselves tuning out whenever it was "love story" time and tuning back in whenever it was "vampires and werewolves tearing pieces of each other off" time.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200883230437111275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3026702090530441760.post-72774589297938316782011-09-27T13:48:25.650-07:002011-09-27T13:48:25.650-07:00Banned books!

I always found it funny 'Where's Waldo' was on the list. <br /><br />I've read a couple, for similar reasons to you. Banned books tend to be edgy (though I don't quite see how that applies to Twilight...)and I like those type of books. I noticed the Chocolate War cropped up a lot. I read it when I was younger, but I think I'd understand it better now.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02777606275930092186noreply@blogger.com
