The annual Banned Books Week, brought to you by the good folks at the American Library Association, starts on Saturday. Fight the forces of thought control by reading one of the embattled gems most often targeted by the small of mind.

That list contains more than a few personal favorites from childhood, including To Kill a Mockingbird, James and the Giant Peach, and one that hasn't come to mind in years, How to Eat Fried Worms. The one I'll re-read in celebration of this noble cause will be Shel Silverstein's delightfully subversive A Light in the Attic.
