Isn't George Orwell's 1984 Hillary Clintons blueprint?

Not before George Bush is done with it.

One should read all of these books. Those who ban them fear the truths within and that is sad, really sad.

I'd love to know WHERE these were banned?? At least half of these were required reading when I was in high school (85 - 89, Houston Texas). I'm 99.9% sure that all Western literature (which these are) were 100% banned in the USSR, for instance.

I'm sure "1984" must have been banned in the USSR...
And all countries who ban a lot of books probably ban "Farenheight 451" because that's the topic of the book.

What about "Mein Kampf" by Hitler? It is still banned in a lot of western countries though it is not a great book (very boring actually)
I still think it should'nt be banned

Thanks for the list, I think I have a lot of reading this summer.
