I discovered that some books had been BANNED BY THE POPE when I was in High School a million years ago. One day at the public library, some girls transferring from Catholic school to public school stood in front of a display clutching a book to breast and declaring, “Oh, if only this wasn’t banned.”

That was the day and age of “good girls” so her two friends talked her down and she left the book on the table.

I, of course, grabbed it.

It was ANGELIQUE — a highly sexual romance [maybe soft porn?] that I fell in love with. My mother was so proud to know I was reading historical fiction!

I’d imagine it’d be disappointing though, reading a book that interested you because it was banned. It’ll never match up to what your imagination turned it into, will it?
