Banned Books Week: Massachusetts library finally undoes ban of Mark Twain book.

Charlton (MA) Public Library finally reversed their 1906 ban on Mark Twain's book "Eve's Diary"--a book from the perspective of the biblical Eve. The library originally banned it--105 years ago--because it shows the biblical Eve nude. Thank God, too, because Eve was not pleasant to look at nude. Just ask Adam.

If you ever want to increase sales on a book, pick the least known work by a famous author (Eve's whatnow?) and claim it has ruthless nudity. Then sit back and listen as the author laughs.

If you're smart, you realize your mistake before 105 years have passed.






In case you're wondering--yes, that's one of the controversial images from the book. SHIELD YOUR EYES!!! Good lord, she's showing a calf muscle!
