That is impressive. What were their responses?

My 17-year-old daughter liked them all, but the one that spoke the most to her was Toni MorrisonтАЩs (all the blessings to Toni Morrison). My 13-year-old son liked Oscar WildeтАЩs quote the best. I also emailed them Foundation 451тАЩs website with an explainer. We are all in favor of bad asses around here ;). A big Hell Yes from me to Steven King, in saying go read those books to see the world and change the world.

Hi Donna, The quotations came from a few different sources, and I thought about each one. Tony Morrison was placed last, so honored for the depth and distinctively Morrison sense to her quote. Yes, Steven King, was so direct and to this time. Henry Louis Gates Jr's 'lynching' spelled out book banning and burning to me.
