This week is Banned Books Week here in the USA. I don't believe in banning, censoring, or burning books. Books aren't dangerous. Ban ignorance, not books!
Unfortunately, throughout history, books have been banned or burned. I stumbled across an online article by Samantha Gray titled The 10 Biggest Book Burnings in Literary History.
It's disheartening to think of all the valuable historical and literary texts we've lost over the centuries due to book burnings... Or the very real fact, that book burnings are still going on around the world.
