Lord of the Rings a banned book
Sep. 25th, 2011 12:37 amThis week is banned book week, and apparently Lord of the Rings is on the list. That... amuses me, and leaves me feeling confuzzled. What's so objectionable about Tolkien?

In honor, I encourage everyone reading this to post the passage that you think would get it banned. What countercultural, challenging to the PTB but inspiring to the rest of us bit of Tolkien do you think would put it on such a list? (Other Tolkien books welcome as well.) And please leave me a link in the comments section, so I don't miss it.
