Talkin' Texan Book - banned in Texas
Most controversial books are banned in Boston, but this particular book written about Texas is banned in Texas.
Did y'all know that there are still members of the Catholic Church who want to "burn books.?" Yep, just log on to Catholic Forums for the Catholic Church and discover that Talkin' Texan is also listed with Huckleberry Finn as one of the many books the Catholics want to burn. Well, since the Catholics burned Joan of Arc at the stake and this sort of thing is now sorta frowned upon in America, I suppose that "book burnings" are still in vogue.
Gee whiz folks, where is the love?
The author of Talkin' Texan is very honored to be referred to as The Texas Mark Twain, because Samuel Clements also has two books on the National "banned books' and "book burning" lists.
