Letter: 'Growing up in the ‘70s, the only book I can remember being banned was 'The Catcher in the Rye.' Of course, we all read it because it was banned.'

I am sure there are books being banned for reasons I don’t know or even comprehend why they would be unacceptable. It made me laugh when I saw someone wanted the Bible banned. My first reaction was, “Touché.”

Growing up in the ‘70s, the only book I can remember being banned was “Catcher in the Rye.” Of course, we all read it because it was banned. I thought it was stupid and didn’t get it and never finished it. So much for banning a book to keep me from reading it. Of course, “Playboy” was banned from our school library. I had to get those from underneath my dad’s bed. To read the articles, of course.

Remember, banning a book while you are in the majority, means the other side can ban a book they find objectionable when they are in the majority.
