Freedom to read

Banned Books Week was September 27- October 4. Did you read a banned book? Does anyone else think it's a little silly to ban books?
It strikes me as a method to limit diversity. A lot of times it's through literature that we learn about other worlds and other opinions. Its a way to spread information and cultivate the imagination. When you prevent certain pieces of literature from getting through to other people, their horizon does not expand. The right to choose is a Constitutional one and to choose what books I want to read or not read should be up to me and no one else.
