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 importance of free information for all.   

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."

Oh, ignore me - looks like that account isn't in Buffer. Or it might not even belong to us. Ho hum!

We could tweet these from @Wikiquote and RT them on other accounts - don't think that account gets enough love :(

LOTS of these quotes are tweetable. For example:

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Again, a reason for a url shortener:

We could share banned books that are present on Wikisource, although for the most part those are only pre-1923.

Hey everyone, this week has been "Banned Book" week. I'm sure Wikipedia (and Wikisource of course) could get in on the action. Free knowledge, anyone?

I'm also looking at you WikiLibrary. 

List of books banned by governments: 

Books include everything from The Bible, The Quran, Frankenstein, The Grapes of Wrath, Green Eggs and Ham (why are you here??), 1984, ...and of course the Fifty Shades of Grey  trilogy. 

Thoughts?
