Huckleberry Finn has been banned so many times, it is impossible to count.

It used to be that a book sought out the distinction of being banned in Boston, as that guaranteed increased sales.

With the advent of the internet and sites like gutenberg.org, the classics will be preserved.

It's a fantastic project, and now they've got most of the classics preserved, they need to go back over them and edit them for the terrible errors caused by OCR scanning.

I wish the banned Beowulf before I was forced to read it. I hated that book more then any other.
