12th Annual Banned Books Reading

A reminder.

The Annual Banned Books Reading, brought to you by the good folks at the Pittsburgh chapter of the ACLU, the Carnegie Library, and WYEP, is taking place tonight.

It's free and open to the public.

For some strange and as yet unexplained reason, they've asked me to be the MC.

UPDATE: This was a lot of fun and being master of ceremonies wasn't nearly as frightening as I thought. Did you know that a WHERE'S WALDO book had been banned? Along with the poem "Jabberwocky"? Me neither.

Interspersed in the live readings were video clips of other local Pittsburghers (Bill Peduto and Lynn Cullen included) reading from some other banned material (The Bible, Shel Silverstein and so on).

Read a banned book!
