Here’s an interesting thought exercise. 1,600 banned books were analyzed for similarities to see what they all have in common, by author and genre. The results aren’t all that shocking (unfortunately their presentation here is garbage, but this second link has a more direct analysis) but I was surprised to see that Pennsylvania is right behind Texas in the amount of books that have been banned. This data is now 3 months old, so I wonder where we stand now and how much things have changed gotten worse since then.
I’ve been writing this weblog since March of 2001, a total of 8227 days. Here’s a monthly list from the first day until now.
I’ve plotted all of the entries into this chart, which gets updated manually; at some point I’ll automate the process.
