      <![CDATA[@7: The American Library Association defines challenges and bans like this: "A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group.  A banning is the removal of those materials." Go ahead and read the whole <em>Herald</em> article; I'd say there's quite clearly a discussion about removing the books from classrooms and schools. Sorry if my lede was misleading (ha-ha).

But <b>removing a book from reading lists is not a ban.</b>&nbsp; Can we please not be the Fox News of the left?

      <![CDATA[Nancy Pearl, book genius, said on KUOW today that she is going to Bosnia to organize a mass book reading of Mr. Alexie's book (what if all of Bosnia read the same book).  She seemed very excited and I wonder what the reaction to the book will be there.
