Banned Books...continued
Well, it seems everywhere we look there is someone discussing censorship or banned books. Here's the latest, and again it's thanks to Marieke Hardy. The July 2010 episode of the First Tuesday Book Club (ABC tv), Marieke will review Philip Roth's book 'Portnoys Complaint'. Tune in to hear about this book and a discussion on why it was so controversial.

I watched this episode and was surprised by the reaction of the panel, especially Jennifer Byrne who comes across as quite restrained in her views. I must admit though that while their comments made me curious that it offers more than shock value, Portnoy's Complaint will not be high on my list of reading.
