Speaking Of Banned Books

I'm watching "The Order" and they mention "The Turner Diaries" many times.

I've heard of this book many times.

I've seen it for sale at a couple of gun shows.  You know the guy who has all the Nazi memorabilia?  Yeah, that guy sells them.

Being a curious monkey, I wondered if it counted as a banned book and how easy it was to lay hands on a copy.

Amazon does not carry it.

Books-A-Million does.

Interestingly, if you can read German, Amazon will sell you a copy of Mein Kampf.  Well, they'll sell it to you even if you can't...

Every title that the liberal types say was banned by Florida's so called, "Don't say gay," law is readily available on Amazon.

So much for being banned.

Not that I want to actually own anything on that list, or a copy of The Turner Diaries.

But it's interesting to see what is banned vs what is not available.

  1. You might also like Unintended Consequences by a guy named Ross. Can't remember the first name.

    1. I've read Unintended Consequences. I've heard it compared with The Turner Diaries before.

      Reading the synopses of both books makes me think it's an unfair comparison.

    2. John Ross wrote "Unintended Consequences". I bought a copy recently on the used market (and it was a little pricy) and it is sitting on my desk beside me, waiting for me to complete a project.

      I have heard that Canadian customs actually confiscates copies shipped to that country, but I have no independent evidence to back that up. And that's Canada, anyway.
