You know, sometimes I just love this world. I'm not one to avidly read the news but sometimes I do, today was one of those days. Most of it was bad news, though I found this little gem:
Librarians Nominate Death Note for Book Award
I almost died laughing, I really did. Death Note has been the source of much dispute since it's publish and many places have baned the book from schools. Now we're going to give it an award. FTW?
I love Death Note (The anime will premiere on Cartoon Network October 20th!). I think it's a great series so long as it's not taken to seriously and people don't try to emulate it. Still some people do and I laugh at them.
The award it's nominated for is called The Evergreen Young Adult Book Award which is given once a year to help assist teachers in selecting proper materials, other then required reading, for Junior-High and High School students. Weather or not the book wins the award comes down to a vote made by any/all Washington students Grades 7-12. The premise of the vote is to give teenagers a voice in choosing outstanding literature for their age group.

Apparently not but two or so days after this announcment was made there was another about Tawain warning people to watch out for odd behavior from children who have read Death Note.
I love the crazy world we live in.
