Once again, it's Banned Books Week!

And a good web comics start to it:

I'm kind of surprised that Unshelved isn't doing anything as it's made by ex-librarians.

I can't say that what I'm reading right now is banned, though I did read Hunger Games recently. How they can call it anti-family and anti-ethnic I do not understand, unless maybe those who wanted to ban it think the movie is 100% faithful representation of the book and couldn't be bothered to read it.

(I tried to post this Tuesday, and something went weird and it didn't post. But oddly, last night my wife and I were driving to the observatory and she was speculating about the living standard and contentment of the people living in the capital sector of the Hunger Games universe)

I think we're supposed to believe it anti-family because Katniss intends not to have children. And all the tragedies that befall families. As for anti-ethnic, I think we're supposed to see Capitol residents and the disdain Katniss has for them as racism or something.

As usual, the challenges come from people who have not read the books, most of the time.
