Let's Burn Some Banned Books

Lludmila in front of the Topeka and Shawnee County Library's SecondLife branch
Right across from the Society Hill Library is the Topeka and Shawnee County Library's SL branch. I was ambling by to get the slurls for the SC State Library and Society Hill to add to previous blogs when I noticed the big fire on the roof of the building across the "street." Naturally I ascended those steps on the left to see what was up. Surprise, surprise, surprise! It was a do-it-yourself book burning! You were able to get a virtual book from the stack nearby and then drag it from your inventory to the fire. Then you sign their guest book and tell them what book you burned and why. If you can't think of one off hand, there is a list to the left of the "The Big Read" poster of previously banned books.
What book did I burn? That's my secret. One copy won't be missed.
