No one said you had to like/agree with the book. No one said you had to read it. So get over it and let other people make up their own minds.

This year the focus was on Stephen King’s books.

The list of banned books is long and extensive.

I am sure Marquis de Sade’s “120 Days of Sodom” or “The Satanic Bible” will evoke stronger reactions.
