100 Banned Books (1-10)

Posted on August 23, 2002 by Solonor

Here it is! This is the first of a ten-part series, detailing just exactly what kind of filth we’re putting into libraries these days. Enjoy.

Please, check out the purpose of this project at https://solonor.com/bannedbooks.php before you send me e-mail on how much of a bigoted book burner I am.

Oh, and when Aden finishes reading and reviewing all 100 books, I’ll be adding more mini-reviews…of course, that shouldn’t stop anyone else from writing one…

Skycraft

Posted on August 20, 2002 by Solonor

Sgt. Grump, Cableman and I took a lunchtime trip to Skycraft today. Ocassionally, we need to wander the aisles of oscilloscopes, surplus NASA equipment, power supplies, transistors, wire, cable, transformers, resistors, diodes and machines that go “ping”. Cableman needed to pick up a few LED’s for a secret project (I think he’s building a robot replacement for one of our lunch crew).

We tried to take Just-A-Girl with us, but she’s just a…well, you know…

I am now officially a blustering, babbling, nabob of negativism. Check out Blocritics.org for more unfiltered-by-editors opinions.

100 Banned Books

Posted on August 20, 2002 by Solonor

I’m not one to do things by half. If it’s an insane project, I’m there, baby. So, when I was trying to think of something to write about for the Banned Books Project, I couldn’t resist the crazy idea that popped into my well-aerated cranium: 100 Mini Reviews of 100 Banned Books.

Not reviews, actually, more like added detail to the list–Why was it banned? Who banned it? What’s it about?

If anyone’s interested in writing one-sentence reviews for any of the books, I’ll be happy to add them to this project. Maybe a certain person that’s already reading all 100 books anyway….hint, hint….

The ALA is just being alarmist. All you have to do is go to the Family Friendly Libraries page to see the truth.
