Many books have the power to make us think, but few have the power to change our minds. Throughout history the fear of this awesome power has seen scores of books banned for nothing more than turning our sleeping heads, and nothing less than widening our perspectives. Some have been lewd, some have been crude, some were banned just for their attitude. This week Seamus and Blake discuss the deep ranks of banned books as they swell with mediocrities, monstrosities and masterpieces.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
