There's been rather a to-do at Twitter for the past week or two. It's over the latest attempts to censor Laurie Halse Anderson's book <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speak_(novel)">Speak</a>. This is because the Young Adult book is about a victim of rape. Some parents feel that their children shouldn't be reading that sort of thing.

So all sorts of people the world over have been adding the hashtag #SpeakLoudly to related posts in a show of support for Anderson and other authors whose books show up frequently in Banned Book list.

Makes me want to read To Kill A Mockingbird again. But not The Catcher in the Rye. Ick.
