Artist Uses 100,000 Banned Books To Build A Full-Size Parthenon At Historic Nazi Book Burning Site

This article came up on my newsfeed recently. In term 4 the ISC has also been running a Challenge for students to read some of these banned/challenged books. A number of students have taken up the challenge and have read titles from the 52 books we have on offer, such as The Color Purple, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Perks of being a Wallflower. 

Students were surprised at why people try to have these books banned and enjoyed reading them immensely. They also felt enriched by reading books of great writers such as Maya Angelou, John Steinbeck , James Joyce and Harriet Beecher-Stowe.
