The Biblomaniac Army (booklovers, UNITE!) v.2

[booklover789]

Hello my fellow bibliomaniacs! Long time, no see! X)

So, I've been trying to find an accurate list of "Warriors" books, chronologically organized, so that I know which book comes after which other book. I have the main series down (The Original Series, New Prophecy, and Power of Three), but since I stopped reading the books after the last book in "Power of Three," I lost track of which books come after it in what order.

Does anyone know what website I can go to to find a list such as the one I'm describing?

Oh, and please no spoilers! I've not read anything other than "The Original Series," "New Prophecy," "Power of Three," the Greystripe Mangas, and a Scourge Manga.

I'd try either warriorcats.com or Wikipedia. I'm not certain, but I think that you can find a list like that on at least one of those sites.

Top Ten Favorite Books:
1. The Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance)
2. Harry Potter (Do I even need to list the books in the series?)
3. The Ink Heart Triogy (Ink Heart, Ink Spell, Ink Death)
4-10. Any other big books I liked a lot, ahahha ;3

Average amount of time it takes you to finish a book:
I can read about up to 100 pages a day, or even 200 if I read long enough. About 300 pages a week, and 1,200 a month. Only estimates, though ^^

How many of the above symptoms you regularly experience:

I just finished Brisingr and near the end was so sad ;A; (ahem, resulting in a new symptom)

I've already tried warriorcats.com, but haven't tried Wikipedia yet. X) Thanks for the suggestions!

Welcome to the club! X) I like "Harry Potter" too, and I plan to read "The Inheritance Cycle" either later this year or next year.

Hey guys, quick question- what do you think of literary censorship?
This isn't for any project or anything, I'm just curious to know what fellow readers think of a subject that I consider very important.

You can answer that question generally or answer these specific questions.

1. Do you believe that books should be censored for language?

b. For violence? (including or not including self-harm?)
c. For sex? (including or not including nudity?)
d. For criminal behavior? (at all, or just when portrayed in a positive manner?)
e. For drug use? (including alcohol, cigarettes, and similar legal drugs?)
f. For "unpatriotic"/terroristic/anarchistic content? (with or without instruction
g. For anything else?
2. Do you believe that books should have different censorship standards than visual media? If so, how?
3. Do you believe that books should be age restricted?
4. Do you believe that there should be exceptions for books that are classics?

b. That are educational? (textbooks and/or recommended by educational boards to be read in school)
c. That are religious? (would any religions be excluded?)
5. Do you believe that, instead of or in addition to censorship, books should be required to have warnings?

b. If so, what sort? (triggers or explicit material, for example)
6. Do you believe that, in addition to or instead of censorship, there should be "public decency" laws to prevent lewd material from being shown to unwitting members of the populace?
7. What do you think is the biggest influence on your beliefs on censorship? (religion? political views? the way you were raised?)

And since I don't think it's fair to demand y'all guys' opinions without giving mine, here ya go.

1a-g. No.
2. No. If it isn't appropriate to put a picture of it in public, it isn't appropriate to have words of it in public either.
3. No.
4a-c. Nope. If it's inappropriate it's inappropriate; that having been said I don't consider anything inappropriate that could possibly be educational.
5. Yes.
5b. I believe that, similar to the MPAA's system of explaining a rating, a book should be required to have any objectionable material clearly explained before the book is ever opened, especially trigger warnings.
6. I believe in having public decency laws alone. What someone does in the privacy of their home/library is their business, not mine.
7. The way I was raised. My mother never attempted to "childproof" my life, including music, movies, and her vocabulary- that having been said she was an English major, so in addition to cursing she also taught me terms like inane, noblesse oblige, and quintessential when my peers were still calling sheep baa-baas. I've always appreciated her parenting style, as it's allowed me to travel the world, converse with people holding alien views, and deal with the various nasty things our world has to offer without being shocked. I prefer living outside of a bubble, though I've always wondered what the world looks like from inside of one.

@Lady Sabine
I don't think books should be censored, but I do think they should maybe carry a warning or something. About age restrictions- you can't really tell how mature someone is by their age, so it doesn't really make sense to not allow someone to read something just because they're not an adult. I guess it's up to their parents to know what their kids could/couldn't handle.
For example, my friend has schizophrenia and her mother can't let her read/see things that are too violent or else she'll panic. It would seem kind of overprotective to a bystander, but it's necessary. In contrast, if a parent is just sheltering their kid then the child will be really shocked when they do have to read a mature book for college or something.
But when it comes to deciding something's violent it's all perspective so the government can't really be the one to decide that.

[Lady Sabine]

@Electra Heart-
Thanks for answering. ^^
Concerning government control, I agree with you. However, the MPAA isn't a government agency, and they're the ones that make the movie rating system that Americans know and love/loathe. To be honest with you, the thought of a private company motivated by profit telling me what I can and can't watch is more frightening than the government doing the same job- though as far as I'm concerned, it's every citizen's personal job to make their own choices on what they and their children ought to see.

No problem! The warriorcats.com isn't updated very much, but I think wikipedia has to have a list. Hope you can find it!

7. What do you think is the biggest influence on your beliefs on censorship? (religion? political views? the way you were raised?)

1. a. No, words have no more power than the power you give them, and giving them the power to be taboo just makes them more powerful, if you get what I mean.
b. No, violence is a part of human life (currently, at least). To censor violence would ignore natural life.
c. No. It's also just part of human life. To censor "racy" books would censor some of the greatest works of literature written (1984, just for a very quick, not altogether that racy example).
d. I don't think any censorship is ever acceptable. I've yet to come across a book that promotes criminal activity, though. Or perhaps I just can't think of one at the moment...
e. No, sheltering kids from things won't do any good, and to censor adult books because of drinking or smoking is just absurd.
f. No, I do agree that books such as the Anarchist's Cookbook and Steal this Book both contain very subversive content, but they're also protected under free speech. If people want to engage in that type of things, they'll find a way. Censoring books won't help.
g. No, I'm completely against any form of censorship, especially in literature.

2. No, but I also don't believe any form of media should be censored.
3. No, age has very little to do with maturity. I know 11 year-olds twice as mature as 19-year olds. Maturity matter much more than numerical age.
4. a. If people insist on censoring books, than I believe there should be as many exceptions as possible.
b. I don't know of an textbooks with this type of content, but no.
c. To censor The Bible, The Koran, The Ramayana, or any other religious book is a crime.
5. I'm somewhat neutral on this. I wouldn't campaign for them or support them, but I wouldn't adamantly protest against them.
b. N/A
6. I'm neutral on this
7. Literature, probably. Some of my favourite books deal with censorship and the consequences. I've believed in personal freedom and choice my whole life, I'm unsure where I got it from.

1. Do you believe that books should be censored for language?
No, books should never be censored, you can pick what you read, you can google for warnings. No one if forcing you to read something you don't like. As said above, words are just words.

2. Do you believe that books should have different censorship standards than visual media? If so, how?
Yes, books are just words, and the media is rarely censored anymore,

3. Do you believe that books should be age restricted?
No, I always read ahead of my age, it just depends on how mature a person it.

4. Do you believe that there should be exceptions for books that are classics?
Well since all my answers above don't change anything this isn't applicable. People read what they want.

5. Do you believe that, instead of or in addition to censorship, books should be required to have warnings?
If you want to know what is in a book, google it or ask someone, you can find anything on the internet, or even on the back of the book.

6. Do you believe that, in addition to or instead of censorship, there should be "public decency" laws to prevent lewd material from being shown to unwitting members of the populace?
How are you unwitting when you are reading a book? It's not that hard to know which will be 'lewd' and then 'public decency' is changing constantly.
7. What do you think is the biggest influence on your beliefs on censorship?
The way I was raised, I was raised to be open minded and to judge what I think I should do, watch and read, I was allowed to make my own choices.
