How to become a participant
In honor of Banned Books Week 2007, Bonnie started this reading project. The rules are simple: Members of the Banned Books project will read and post about banned books. That's it. No time limit, no required number to complete, just reading any book that has ever been challenged or banned. Registration is always open. Challenge yourself to read one banned book or several (you set the goal), and start reading. Give yourself credit every time you review a banned or challenged book on your blog. If you want to go the extra mile, jump on the "banned wagon" and become a contributor. That way, you can post your reviews on this blog as well as your own.

It's almost Banned Books week (Sept 24-Oct 1), so read a book and share it here.
I'm going to read Lady Chatterley's Lover which faced obscenity trials in England, India and Japan, was banned in Australia and Canada, and censored in the USA.
Maybe I should re-read Lady Chatterley's Lover with you. It's been 40 years or so since I read it.
I've set up a discussion for Lady Chatterley's Lover at my book club blog:
http://bookbuddies3.blogspot.com/2011/09/lady-chatterleys-lover-by-d-h-lawrence.html
Or we can discuss it in emails. Everybuddy is welcome to join me and my book buddies.
I need to still get you NIght.... I will work on that today :)
