In anticipation of "Read a Banned Book Week"

I recently learned that the week of September 23-30 is known as "Read a Banned Book Week." Apparently, this is somewhat known because Google has prepared a portion of their books section in anticipation of this week.

This particular effort (link) is intended to encourage people to read books which have been challenged or censored over the years. The site includes previews (a selected number of pages) of the books, or the work in its entirety. Seeing how we are all enlightened Brunonians, I figured that many of you might be interested in this.

Enjoy reading your smut!

It's interesting that I don't see any copies of books that are still banned. You can't find a copy of Mein Kampf on Amazon, which I find extremely disturbing.

I stand corrected. Mein Kampf is in fact available.

I didn't really dig through the site, so I don't know how comprehensive it is. I just figured people would be interested in free copies of books, many of which are considered major pieces of literature.
