LOL Minister, mother, me. Well done. On the three freighters i traveled - first to Australia, back to Vancouver, then by mistake to Australia again - on there was much time for reading. There was Readers Digest and i had a top philosophy book, a chapter of say 6-8 pages on every top guy you could think of Aristophanes, Socrates, Plato, Nietzsche big book with a dark cover i can picture even now though, lol, most all i read has disappeared into deep mists of memory. Then there was

"9.) Candy was one of the most successful titles originally published by Maurice Girodias—whose other successes include Lolita, Tropic of Cancer, and Naked Lunch."

those two. LOL Honestly. And there was one of a Japanese democracy activist (name something like Sudoki, ha, that's tough, but wasn't which was also banned in Australia. I was really surprised to see the books which had been banned in the country i was first headed to. That was '62 when it felt so safe to be in the middle of the ocean. Cuban Crisis, et al.

What is that Japanese guys name -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments .. nope not on that list. James Baldwin's Another Country was though. Unbelievable? No.

Nope can't find his name, but guess what the #1 banned book is.. GO's... wink

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
