Books won't stay banned and Ideas don't go to jail

Liturature that has been banned can't possibly be all bad. Actually, I doubt its "bad" at all. Its obviously written well and conveys some sort of message, otherwise it wouldn't be published. I think that books shouldn't be banned because they allow for some controversy and encourage the reader to actually think about what they're reading. Some novels are just for fun and don't require character analysis' or judgment of morals, The Book of Awesome for example, is all about the little things that brighten our life. Simple as that. But a book like Slaughterhouse Five, has explicit language and sexual references that offend some people. I don't understand how those are the official reasons for its banning, not the anti-American sentiment. Its totally pointless to ban a book because it shows a different point of view, to me the whole point of reading something like Slaughterhouse Five is to understand the war through the eyes of a veteran, to read his thoughts in a way. The profanity and sexual references aren' found on every single page, if you get offended just SKIP the few pages or paragraphs that use that. Its not that difficult. Vonnegut probably didn't want the readers to focus on that stuff anyways, his main message can be interpreted as anti-American but I interpret it as his way of telling people that war isn't glorious. To simplify it as much as I can without ranting about that too. Anyways, liturature that provokes thinking and the expansion of knowledge is the best there is! I find no reason for it to be banned. To put it bluntly to all those that get offended by books like Slaughterhouse Five, Catcher in the Rye or 1984, if you don't like the book PUT IT AWAY and get one that you enjoy. Your hands aren't chained to the book and there's no gun pointing at you to read it. Calm down everyone.
