When my school library won't let me borrow books classified as 'senior/adult fiction.'
Not happy.
Kindly do not get in my way, books are meant for people to read them, not just sit there on the shelf and gather dust. I wouldn't borrow it if I didn't like it anyway. I understand the level of my own maturity. Like Wilde said, "There is no such thing as a moral or immoral book. Books are either well written or badly written. That is all." Take Lolita by Nabakov for example. If I want to read Murakami or Kundera or a book on a psychotic man who has a fetish for sleeping girls or something like that, why should you stop me?
I don't want to read those stupid vampire young adult books, I just want an interesting book that makes me think, question my own moral compass even. I am not being pretentious. As an institution of education, what exactly are you promoting?
