Do we need "or other diverse titles
there"? Otherwise I like those
proposals, along with sending out links to Wikiquote in other posts (if
Jeff likes the multi-post idea)—this is a rare good opportunity to feature

What about this for Facebook?
What do Madame Bovary, Green Eggs and Ham, Nineteen Eighty-Four and
Fifty Shades of Gray ((or other diverse titles)) have in common? They were
banned by governments. As Banned Books Week wraps up, here's a list of
famous books that authorities tried to stamp out -- a reminder of the

And then I could post in the comments a few of Victor's awesome quotes.
For Twitter, I love this:
"I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I
want sin."
