I hadn't planned on reading it, but then I got invited to join a Facebook group for people boycotting the movie because the author was atheist (even though of course none of them had read the books themselves). GOOD GRIEF. I went and read some articles about it, and was so irritated that I basically immediately bought all three books (and loved them, by the way. Also the movie). I hate censorship. <br /><br />I used to think that way about YA, too, and I still feel like I need to explain to people how non-fluff it can be. <br /><br />And I hate when people tell me they wish they could read, but they just don't have time. Sorry friends, but yes you do--you just choose to use it on other things (like TV). That's fine if that's what you want to do, but it still doesn't mean you don't have the time. People always seem to think I have the most leisurely life because of how much I read, and sure, I don't have kids and I'm not as busy as plenty of people, but I do work full-time and volunteer and have a husband. I just love reading and choose to do it.mkgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032027328606342071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651906513915659372.post-421388024071119792011-03-22T13:28:41.095-07:002011-03-22T13:28:41.095-07:00Ha!
