Turkey and stuffing some reading into that spare time

Holidays are a good time for cramming a lot of random reading into various chunks of time. For instance, waiting on the turkey fryer to actually heat up despite the recipes promising 15 minutes gives one enough time to find out what's going to be on sale for Black Friday at just about every store that's ever printed a sales ad. While the turkey's actually cooking for a supposedly 45-minute period much lengthened by the wind blowing the flame, I continued reading how the Connecticut Yankee is getting along on his quest. The high point for these chapters was when the sorceress Morgana had been about to throw him in the dungeon until Sandy identified him as "The Boss". Perhaps he'll be slightly less annoyed with her excessive talking now that it has been useful. Later I had time to read a few websites ironically including an essay on buying local rather than falling for the hype of Black Friday. Particularly interesting were the American Library Association's Banned Books pages the related information I found on why many of the books were banned. Some of the reasoning is laughable until thinking about how it led to censorship and book burnings, then it's just asinine. It's crazy that some people are still so small-minded that they think reading books with swear words or about two male penguins raising a baby together will harm students.
