Well Ed Balls and the Fabians will pretty soon get to decide what our kids can and cannot read. They'll be a list of recommended authors and anything outside of that will be streng verbode.

Banning books. You may as well say burning books.

i've alway wondered if the secret 'vatican library' is real or just an urban myth.

if it is real, i wonder what it contains?

I would say its real.

It probably has texts that are very powerful that were declared heretical over the ages.

Look at the Nag Humundi Scriptures.

They probably have all near original copies in perfect condition.

Knowledge is power.

I read whatever I want to read obviously, it's up to me to decide what to belive, not anyone else.

Do you really expect anyone to say, "Oh! No way! Banned books are illegal and that would be a sin"?

Or are you asking whether people read books simply on account of their being banned?
