[at-l]NOT OT: Banned Books Week

I'll dispute the OT designation, particularly as How to Eat Fried Worms appears on the list of challenged books. AT hikers need to know how to eat fried worms. Also, some need to know how to lie to get their patch. This is an apropo book for AT-Lers, and, therefore, the post isn't OT.

IMHO
