Banned books. Bold the books you've read for banned books week.

With the exception of American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, Cujo by Stephen King and Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by A.N. Roquelaure (Anne Rice) all of these books were inflicted on me when I was a teenager. They weren't banned books; they were required reading. Oh and my father gave me Harry Potter 1-4 in October 2000 to save me from tonsillitis.

I can't help noticing I was given all the depressing ones - where were all the books about being perfectly normal!

I am so in it for the comedy! The detective story was not nearly so engrossing as the romance which had me giggling to myself late into the night. Yay Georgette Heyer.

Devil's Cub: Well what *is* a dissolute young man to do when he takes off with the wrong girl while being ordered out of the country after shooting someone in a gambling den? Tee hee.

Why Shoot a Bulter?: And rightly so! Good butlers are hard to find and so are incredibly vague yet astute_bordering_on_witchcraft aunts who have rude, unbearably smug nephews who like solving mysteries and annoying people.
