		Voilà: Banned Books week was born, a cause célèbre created to remind us that the right to read whatever we choose needs to be prized and protected.
		What Banned Books week boils down to is the literary equivalent of answering the schoolyard taunt of "Put up or shut up": This is our chance to put up a token amount of time and money to make certain that no one can shut us up.
		Without this right, we wouldn't be free to choose which books or articles to publish, librarians and booksellers couldn't choose which to carry on their shelves, and you as a reader would never be given the chance to decide for yourself.

	U.C. Berkeley Summer Reading 2002
		Of course not all books are great literature, and not all books that have been banned have literary merit.
		I read this book on the recommendation of a friend I hardly knew while I was sojourning in Brooklyn one year; the friend was a literatus and book reviewer himself, so I thought he'd know a great book when he read one.
		This book has been celebrated since it was first published in 1885, and it has been in trouble, with one early critic calling it "a pitiable exhibition of irreverence and vulgarity." More recently, it has been challenged by readers offended by Mark Twain's characters' realistic use of the language of racism.
