Celebrate Banned Books Week -- Read a Banned Book

The American Library Association has announced the celebration of Banned Books Week on September 29–October 6, 2007.
We at ZiefBrief urge all our loyal readers to go out and read a banned book. As the ALA says: "Free People Read Freely®"

If you aren't sure what to read you might consider one of the the most frequently challenged books of 2006. Thankfully, many of the titles that are challenged stay on the shelves, but in many cases a simple challenge is sufficient to get a book yanked off the shelves forever. The most challenged book of the year is And Tango Makes Three, by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell. It tells the story of two male penguins who raise an egg from a mixed-sex penguin couple. Reviled as being "anti-family" the story was also recognized as an American Library Association Notable Children's Book as well as receiving numerous other awards (some editorial reviews are collected at Amazon.com at this link).
