Let's take a stand against censorship! Ralph Ellison's landmark 1952 novel Invisible Man has just been banned from school libraries in Randolph County, NC, due to a lack of "literary value".Huh. The National Book Foundation had no problem awarding him the National Book Award for the book in 1953.
I challenge everyone to take their stand against censorship by reading this novel!
If I may add, this is another book, a murder mystery that is set majorly in New York, ofcourse has characters travelling to other places off and on.. but everything happens in Manhattan, New York.Loves Music, Loves to Dance by Mary Higgins Clark
