What do this face and Welcome to the Monkey House have in common? They were both created by Vonneguts. The face above is part of a painting on the walls of the underpass on Route 6A in Barnstable, and was created by artist Edie Vonnegut. The underpass paintings were even turned into a radio play. And of course Welcome to the Monkey House is author Kurt Vonnegut's collection of essays, including one on Barnstable Village and the Sturgis Library, where I work. You can read that highly amusing essay here.

It's amazing the number of books that have been banned, burned, or otherwise vilified down through the centuries. It's inspiring to know that our native Barnstable Village son Kurt Vonnegut had two titles make the list. You can read his take on our village and library (back in the old days) here.I've read so many of these books. My favorites were Rebecca and the Jane Eyre prequel Wide Sargasso Sea. What's your favorite banned book?
PS: Thanks to Kyle for having such a cool bumper sticker!
