Here's the actual list of thirteen books, six of them by Maas.

The list includes Oryx & Crake, which is a very disturbing book but not because of the sex.

The Guardian's headline is dreadful. It's thirteen books, not thirteen authors, and it's a ban for schools and libraries, not selling and owning. The reality is terrible enough without misleading people.

@thomasfuchs I can't find that in the last week of tweets from Heritage. Got a link?

@wrench @FlockOfCats the one that drives me nuts is"vegetable curry". It's not vegetarian. Not even close. It's ground meat keema curry with a piece of carrot and maybe an okra thrown in.

@omasanori don't forget cloud computing and crowd computing.
