Yah, I guess you're right.
But Snowy dearest, I don't buy the "respected literature" thing. It's not as if Maya Angelou isn't respected literature.
Also, it's not as if the people who come up with reasons to ban these books have a taste for "respected literature" beyond religious texts and perhaps Shakespeare.
