This past week, Chris and I celebrated Banned Books Week with a reading at the Philadelphia Free Library. Local notables read passages from their favorite banned books, such as Raisin in the Sun and To Kill a Mockingbird. The host, Gene Shay of WXPN’s folk show also presented “banned and taboo” music samples. The standout favorite was a reading of “noted evildoer” Shel Silverstein. Next up at the library – the OED 80th Anniversary, Nov. 18th.
