Donald Pittenger shares his latest Bagatelles:
At a bookstore I recently saw a table piled with books and sporting a sign saying something about “banned books.”Seems to me this is an annual thing, promoting books that have been banned at some time and place. I see nothing wrong with this sort of promotion even though it never gives me a burning desire to buy any of those books; if I choose to read them, it will be for other reasons.
However, every time I see such displays I have to fight the urge to go to the customer service desk and ask if they have a copy of “Little Black Sambo.”
