Books NOT to read-

[ArthChauc]

The whole argument behind whether or not to censor City Lights who published Ginsberg's Howl was about literary merit.

Just saying. Not sure that's an effective way to look at literature.

Also, sorry, Fiz. Ignore me, I'm late to the party/Harry Potter obsessed.

So...

I sort of look like Harry Potter. I wonder if I should switch out of Rhet and go the Lit/YA path.

Or you could marry me. Just a thought.

---What other basis is there to distinguish art from something that might otherwise be thought or claimed merely to violate community standards of decency? The courts are forced to deal with this question regularly as a matter of law. Were it not for considerations of artistic merit, these sorts of things would in fact routinely be banned.
