And remember...
"Intellectual freedom can exist only where two essential conditions are met: first, that all individuals have the right to hold any belief on any subject and to convey their ideas in any form they deem appropriate; and second, that society makes an equal commitment to the right of unrestricted access to information and ideas regardless of the communication medium used, the content of the work, and the viewpoints of both the author and receiver of information. Freedom to express oneself through a chosen mode of communication, including the Internet, becomes virtually meaningless if access to that information is not protected. Intellectual freedom implies a circle, and that circle is broken if either freedom of expression or access to ideas is stifled."

Oh neat. The American Libraries Association picked up the image and are hosting it on their site. Neat!
I admit, I was hoping for something more racy though I was really surprised that 'Catcher in the Rye' was still on the list. Nothing like the classics!
I read Lady Chatterly's Lover just because it's on the list. Now it is one of my favorite books ever.
