Hell, I’m still not emotionally ready for that book!
Let me figure this out. He hated Satanists and didn’t want their message spread, but didn’t have a problem with buying their book, which gives them money? :smack:
Bright man - did he have a Post It reminding him how to breathe?
Sounds like your library needs a Mr Bookman from the Sienfeld episode.
Maybe she just thought it was out of your age group for reading ability? My mom got questioned when I wanted to check out Black Beauty at age seven. She said something along the lines of “Oh, no. He can read it, and understand it.”
I just commented because I think it’s perfectly fine for parents to censor a child’s reading to a certain point. (age of child, intensity of book, adultness of book, and so on) Oh, and if you think Charlie is innocent, you really need to read it again!
It’s both, I think. I’ve heard people in bookstores say that they’re leaving, they just found out that this bookstore carries THAT KIND of books (D&D, RPGs, whatever). But then, I live in Fort Worth.
Jayjay, it may well be both, but FWIW in my library anime magazines were always returned cut to ribbons, if at all, because the kids were clipping out all the pictures. (We kept them behind the desk and took driver’s licenses for them.) I dunno, maybe kinda the same thing. People can be amazingly selfish–and cheap.
Mrs Bdgr works at a borders books in Fort Worth…she has all sorts of storys about people…
When I was little (about 11 or so), a librarian refused to let me check out three books because they weren’t from the children’s section of the library. I had to get my mom to check them out for me.
The books? They were a relatively unknown trilogy by an English author, called The Lord of the Rings.
He probably bought French wine and poured it down the drain last year. :wally
