Okay, but whoever posted it as inappropriate ought to be putting up some sort of explanation as to -why-. Because if it's -not- inappropriate, then it shouldn't be a list of inappropriate books. If it -is- inappropriate, fine, whatever- They could post some explanation so that I can make fun of them properly instead of being outraged as to why "All the things you can think" is on the list- cause all I see in that is that apparently, the message is "thinking is bad".

Dur-hur?

I think I didn't mistake anything, Gurdur. I think the presentation on the site makes no sense with what's up there.

Look, they're books which would be often deemed as "inappropriate" by others not connected to the blog, others such as school boards, libraries and so on. This is what you are missing. The blog is wryly commentating, not condemning.

I think you mistake a lot there. The blog "Curious Pages" uses irony and pointing out unfortunate histories in publishing.
