Book banning a good thing?
I used to think that having your book banned was a bad thing. But now I’m not so sure.
If you’re not holding a winning lottery ticket and have scant funds to promote your book, having it banned might be just as good as a Powerball winner.
A marketing marvel
Lots of folks would wonder why the book is so dangerous. And, if they’re like me they’d want to know why they can’t have it. I wanted to know what all the buzz was about when I was told I was too young to drink. So I drank before I was 21.
Curiosity the lure
When I was told as a teenager that smoking pot would lead to an addiction to more potent drugs, I wanted to know why. So I tried what was then called a doobie.
When I was told that Henry Miller was among authors I shouldn’t read, I bought a few of his books. After reading them, I couldn’t understand why something so interesting would be off limits,
Book banning is the ticket
I haven’t won the lottery, so I can only hope that someone, anyone, will have the good sense to ban one or all three of my books.
Ah, now that would be something.
