I haven't read the book that started this whole ridiculous conversation,
but you have my vote for ridiculing anyone who wants to ban Mark Twain--or
most any other author. I taught a couple of recovering drug addicts how to
read (on a casual basis, not as part of any organization). You wouldn't
BELIEVE how well, how fast, they learned their words when starting out
with a quality porno novel. Some stories maintain reader interest better
than others. Even for kids who think reading is a bore. <grin>

Besides, if you suggested a book THAT good, than any *other* book you
suggest is likely to be more well-received than it might otherwise. All of
which is a roundabout way of saying that "porn" can be the spoonful of
sugar that helps the medicine go down. Given the terrible scores in
schools today, I would think that was a blessing, myself.
