- I mentioned listening to The Fault in Our Stars by John Green while I was on the road last week, a very funny and moving YA novel in the news here for being removed from, then returned to, the shelves provided especially for young people in a central Indiana library. The author, who lives here, stood up for his long-popular book and for young people and for libraries. Much humanity in its pages . . . too much, I guess, for some people, I don't know. #
- Possibly the thought-police folks care less about banning any particular book than about cementing in place the existence of thought police. #
