[QUOTE="El Correcto, post: 5606762, member: 60631"] Yeah the books meant for older teens and young adults. That sounds like a good book to me. I love people that tell horrible crap about their life bluntly and honestly in graphic detail. Reminds me a bit of Chuck Palahniuk another gay author sept he is mostly fiction with some real stories mixed into his work. Also read his book Pygmy in senior year. If you think a story about a gay black man that suffered sexual abuse as a kid is too bad for kids Pygmy would probably horrify you. The debate around that book is about wether it should be on high school shelves and from that little excerpt that was read I’d say yeah. That’s a good look at humanity and the importance on understanding other people’s experiences in this world. No one should be reading that book as a porno or even view that as pornographic imo. Should an elementary school kid be having that read to them? Absolutely not, but the only proof you offer of that happening is some outrage fuel Christian at a school board meeting.
