"When in doubt, tell the truth." —Mark Twain

"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written, that is all." Oscar Wilde.

Thanks to Neil Gaiman, who's blog reminded me, and to juno_magic, who's icn illustrates, that Mark Twain is amongst the top ten banned authors in America.

Any list that contains Huckleberry Finn (for being racist) and The Colour Purple (for being sxually explicit) tells us much more about today than about the books...
