| Re: Single-minded Terry Goodkind Hummn, not sure if that was the right thing to do. He may be a git, and his views may be not entirely pleasant, but I'm not sure that is good grounds for removing him from the library. I suppose it depends whether his books are inciting something nasty or whether they are being given to the young. (And also on what grounds the library is allowed to chuck out books).
Years ago there was a debate among SF writers whether Heinlein's Starship Troopers should be put into children's libraries, as it is a political book aimed at persuading readers and it arguably glorifies war in a false manner. It's a difficult one, but people do have the right to offend us. After all, all kinds of things are said about a lot of famous authors. |
