As a Young Person (23) I find this lis absolutly ridiculous. Well all of the lists actually. I remember reading most of these artists when i learned to read at age 10 and most of them got me interested in reading. The content was entertaining and by actually being entertained I enjoyed read ing and without realizing it improved my vocabulary and gained an interest in reading books that most might find boring or dry. I got excited about reading. What more could parents want out of their children. I think JK rowling would be on that list now. Her books are great and get so many kids who wouldnt normally read; reading. Reading or the ability to read it is such an underrated privelage and honor. WHen you can and do read your world is so expanded it becomes endless. When you think about it you are ablet o use your imagination and see in your minds eye, what is happening in the book, however Television leaves nothing to the imagination. Next they wil have a tv list and Simpsons ( a Classic) or some other fairly innocent show will be hacked away at. Censorship seems to be inconsistant at best. Books are something that do not deserve censorship. you have to buy them censorship enough. DOn't want your kid reading it don't buy it. Simple enough. Gary Paulson and judy Blume are great authors for young people. nothing worng with them. These people aho think they are bad then they need to share the dope they are smoking becuase its good stuff
