Flowers for Algernon

I read Flowers for Algernon today...the whole thing! It was the best book I have read in a long time (well, I haven't read a book for a long time either.) Anyway, I think novels appeal to me more than short stories...maybe. I am not sure. But maybe sometime, it would be good to at least attempt to write a novel...maybe. I am not sure.

So, Flowers for Algernon was put on some kind of "Most Challenged Books of 1990-2000," meaning that some people thought that this book was unfit for students or libraries or something, so they tried to ban it. I don't know why anyone wants to ban anything...I think the more ideas you have running around in your head, like bees in a hive, the better. Fuck censorship. Fuck it in the ass. Censorship only perks the interests of the people. I hope that someday, someone tries to censor me, because then there will be a big rally and then the police would come and there would be tear gas and riots, and afterwards I will win! I will beat censorship, and then support a world-wide movement that encourages the widespread distribution and creation of explicit material.
