More GREEN links added
I have added a bunch more links in the Green section! See upper right hand column.
They include the Juice Bag below. Juice not because you carry drinks in it but because you generate your own electricity while wearing it. Enough to recharge some devices. Check it out!
—MoGo (Maureen on the Go)
Books to Check Out now has live links!
So now that I got the live links to work I will be adding many more books to the list. I can’t do them all right away but will try to add some every couple of days. I will soon be adding a DVDs to Check Out page. Stay tuned for more, same bat time, same bat channel!
Banned Books Week
The link above is for the ALA, American Library Association. I got the information below from them. By clicking the link above you can find out all kinds of information. The ALA has lists of the books that have been challenged and tons of other links about fighting censorhip!
Hard to think this is America, “Land of the Free” sometimes…
Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed during the last week of September each year. Observed since 1982, this annual ALA event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. This year, 2007, marks BBW’s 26th anniversary (September 29 through October 6).
Important to Remember:
“Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.”—Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas,” The One Un-American Act.” Nieman Reports, vol. 7, no. 1 (Jan. 1953): p. 20.
Robert Jordan gone on, to the great Wheel of Time in the sky…
Robert Jordan of the Wheel of Time series passed away. Those of us who read his books will miss him. His blog Dragonmount has more news and information.
He kept me entertained for many hours reading his stories. I am reminded of Neil Gaman’s Sandman series where a character comes across the library of books written by authors who have died. All the great works by famous authors continued in the afterlife. Here is hoping that RJ gets to finish the finale to his series up somewhere in heaven.
Check out the the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series. There are currently 11 books in the series and there was supposed to be a final 12th to finish it all. Hopefully his estate has some notes and won’t keep us in suspense forever.
