No but you could put it here Bette - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... - that thread about Project Gutenberg has been there awhile. It'll be good to have this as an extra to it, and draw it to people's attention again:)

Definitely not :) I think it's delicious. It needs to be rare or stewed, though, unless you like eating very tough meat.

Thanks for that Melissa. I needed a banned book for a challenge I am doing so I went straightaway to buy this one. It sounds like a good story and I think I am old enough to handle the rest;)

Crazy that it's been banned, huh?Maybe I expect too much of the 21st century sometimes

Has history ever shown book bans to work. It is nuts that book bans still exist in 2015; I say just stick a rating and a warning label on it and leave it be.

@Melissa I agree with you. Simple warning on the book would be a great idea and then leave it to the general public as to what they do.

I find it ironic considering 50 shades of Grey exists. Just slap a warning on it and let the public make of it what they will.

Indeed! A simple sticker would be enough (so long as it's not those crap ones that you need a hair-dryer to remove without tearing the cover :D)
But yes! What a perfect promo boost :)

I'm with you, Dale, in full support. Why are we eating something that is one of our national emblems?
Michael wrote: "Don't you love it when a bunch of do gooders try and impose there will on what the rest of us can see and read. :/"Yup, so typical of the Family First group!
Melissa wrote: "Sally906 wrote: "Artsolameelian wrote: "Is Kangaroo meat tasty?"Makes a lovely salami"

No it doesn't - but other than as salami I can't eat it - has to be cooked very rare to be tender - or casseroled for ours. I find the taste too strong and don't eat any meat that is still red to the point of almost raw!!!
I remember the roast beef my mum use to make - I swear the joint was still moo-ing when she served it at the table ***shudder***

That is a good point. However, we do eat moose in Canada which is a stereotypical Canadian symbol.

I'm never going bush walking again!!

The nice thing about over here is that any animal that can kill us you can see it coming. Some of your animals scare the pants off me, haha.

My favourite option is to stay inside with a book and avoid the bush.

Another creepy crawlie which does not reside in the southern states!I'm a bit puzzled, was this ever in the AU news or just the NZ news?
After boasting yesterday about the program I use to write my reviews in, to protect them from being swallowed by cyber monsters midstream...I just got about two thirds into writing my review of Susan May's Deadly Messengers when, like an invisible Pacman ᑢ, the words started getting swallowed up one by one and in random lines right before my eyes!!! Aaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!! ⊙#⊙ What the.....!!I have switched it all off in disgust and am going shopping!!
