Survey Results Are In!

So for those of you keeping score at home, the survey that I posted on October 11 of this year, (you remember, the one asking for suggestions of banned books that you think should be added to your (our?) library's holdings), has finally been tabulated. And the results are ... (drumroll please)

Well, there was only one response. Someone identifying him/herself as "yeah, right :)" suggested The book of the Subgenius by J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. The grounds "yeah, right :)" cited in the survey as reasons that this particular book might be deemed objectionable included: It's an attack upon organized religious beliefs ; It's immoral ; It's inappropriate for children ; It's sexually explicit ; It portrays alternate lifestyles in a positive light ; It's an attack on the American way of life or government.

Sounds like a winner. And so, given the results of the poll, The book of the Subgenius triumphs in an inundating landslide, garnering a stupifying 100% of the votes cast! You don't normally see that kind of a plurality outside of Chicago.

And, so, another election season comes to a close. The voters have spoken and, well, as the saying goes, "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore." I'll be leaving that survey up for a while longer if anyone wants to take a look.
