I can't imagine why it would be banned, but then I don't believe in banning books <SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;">ever</SPAN>. Besides, best way to get everyone to read a book is to ban it. <IMG src="http://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/devil2.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.devil2}" /> People like the forbidden fruit!
