I found myself helpless in Barnes and Noble last week, mainly because I justified any purchases as a reward for having such a productive day off.
In addition to purchasing the memoir of a witty North Carolinian living in NYC (I Totally Meant to Do That), I also thought it about time to venture into some real literature. Thankfully, the more classical literature is fairly cheap. I suppose either because 1)the classics are produced in mass quantities or 2)the authors are no longer alive to care about dividends.
I'm a chapter in and I have zero previous knowledge, but I just knew that it had been banned in the US and UK for years since it's 1928 publication. So there's obvious reasons for interest. Obviously obscenity standards were stricter back then, but still...why ban it?
