ALA most challenged books

I just read this over at Yahoo News.

"...a library association official also thinks that the "Twilight" series reflects general unease about supernatural stories."

I haven't read any of the Twilight books, but the point is most of the complaints were made by so-called Christian groups.

Is The Bible not full of supernatural occurrences? Whether you are a believer or a non-believer, one cannot deny that rising from the dead after three day is a supernatural event. What changing water into wine or becoming a pillar of salt? Or having a bloody snake talk you into eating something you'd normally avoid?

Bible-thumpers want us all to read Dick and Jane (but of course, they'd censor the name DICK).
