Bibliophiles Anonymous

In this episode of Bibliophiles Anonymous, Denise and Jess discuss this book-related news item, courtesy of the Daily Dot: Parent calls cops on teen for giving books away at a book giveaway Yes, you read that right. Book banning has reached a new level of ridiculousness. This isn't a new topic for this podcast, but this time we're calling them out on it. We are challenging our listeners, and ourselves, this week to go read the book in question, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, and give it a read. We want a lot of participation for this one. If there are parts of the book you have issues with, let us know. We want this to be a logical, rational discussion about whether or not this book, and others like it, should be taught in schools. Ways to contact the show: email us at bibliophiles.podcast@gmail.com,  find us on Facebook or Twitter, or leave us comments at our website, www.bibliophiles-anonymous.com. We'd love to hear from you, especially this week. As always, thanks for l
