My favorite quote:
Quote:
“It was a hard read,” McDonald said, according to the Courier-Tribune.
Ladies and gentlemen, your NC school board- WAH WAH BOOK WAS TOOOO HARRRRD. BIG WORDS. NO PICTURES. WAH WAH. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT THE WHITE LINE ON THE HIGHWAY. IS HE DRIVING? THEN WHERE IS HIS CAR? WAH WAH.

One of the great books of the 20th century and the school board finds it too challenging. Though I wonder if perhaps by "hard," in fact, McDonald means, "black."

My high school assigned it for summer reading before junior year and it was one of my favorites. I haven't read it since then. To the NYPL website!
