It’s time to dust off our box of yarn and spiff up our empty toilet paper rolls.

Figure out what we’re going to make on Thanksgiving.

Healthy Censorship? 10 Books That Have Been Banned, Censored, or Hated as Much as The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure


The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover’s Code of Conduct has caused a wave of criticism, angry Amazon customers, and demands that the online bookseller pull the self-published book from its site. Whether or not you believe Amazon should ban the book, there are plenty of other volumes sold on the discount bookseller’s site that have sparked at least as much controversy. And we don’t just mean illicit novels or racy teenage fiction (although the American Library Association has plenty of those on its most-challenged books lists).

Poll: Should Amazon Have Pulled The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover’s Code of Conduct?


By now you’ve heard about the hot water Amazon.com is in over this new self-published e-book: The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-lover’s Code of Conduct by Phillip R. Greaves II. During the initial onslaught of criticism and frenzied demands to remove the book from the online seller, Amazon resisted, saying that while they don’t condone criminal activity, they do support their customers’ rights to make their own purchasing decisions.
