LIVING LIVE LIKE AN OPEN BOOK
(excerpt)
Robert Kirby; The Salt Lake Tribune, July 24, 2004

On Monday, I participated in Plan-B Theatre Company's second annual production of And the Banned Played On, a celebration of the First Amendment through the public reading of once-banned and near-banned books.

At any rate, the show was all about censorship, or the intent of some people to decide for others what shouldn't be read. Censorship is as old as, well, the printing press.

People are like books. Some don't match their covers. Others get bad reviews from worse reviewers. You have to decide for yourself, and that requires a certain amount of effort and risk.

The world is a big library. If you stick only to subjects you think are safe, you risk becoming a book no one wants to check out. Then what good are you? So, get out there.   Read and be read.
