Hi Everybody!
I'm writing to you from the only cool room that I can find in this
sweltering Australian summer- our computer center. It's 90 degrees in
the house where I'm staying 'cause our uni is too cheap to put
air-conditioners in the low-grade accommodation :- (
I just checked out the "banned books as art" page and found a link to
the following:
http://www.books.com/scripts/subpage.exe?file~bannedbooks.htm
(scroll about half way down the page)
As well as providing a list of lots of the schools around the US
where Catcher has been banned, you can also listen to a woman called
Victoria reading from TCITR. You need the real audio plug-in to be
able to do this. I wonder if she'll get into trouble with
Salinger's lawyers over this....
Thanks for all the cool posts! I've been too busy working lately to
respond to many but I enjoy reading them all the same :-)
Cya!
