It's Banned Books Week. Come check out the display of challenged and censored books, complete with old favorites (Anne Frank's Diary; The Grapes of Wrath) and new ones (Nickel and Dimed--a UNC summer reading book-- and The Merriam Webster College Dictionary--both challenged in the USA, in 2010). And then of course there's the Qu'ran.
And in cooperation with UNC's First Amendment Day
(http://firstamendmentday.unc.edu/), The Bull's Head is hosting a
reading of banned books in the Pit on 9/30 at 12:30. The Chancellor will read from The Catcher in the Rye; UNC Student Body President, Hogan Medlin will read from Where the Sidewalk Ends; many other students, faculty and staff will read from their favorite banned books including the Qu'ran, in Arabic.
