In honor of the Banned Books Week Virtual Read-Out, I violated my weekend rules and put on pants to read you a selection from my favorite banned book (and one of my all-time favorite books, period) Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. That’s how much I love this book, folks, enough to put on pants on a Sunday! It’s my first vlog (and it’s less than 2 minutes long), so take a breather and let me read to you.
Click the link above for instructions on how to create your own video for the Virtual Read-Out, and please take a minute to share a passage or quote from your favorite banned book in the comments.

Becky at "One Literature Nut" onSeptember 26th, 2011 10:09 am I can’t believe that I still haven’t read this one! Yes. This English teacher feels really embarrassed to admit that. Thanks for the nudge. I’ll have to check it out soon!

Nicola A Hare onSeptember 26th, 2011 3:48 pm Can you tell me more about banned books? I’m intrigued but in the words of Manuel – I know nothing!
Jananav onSeptember 26th, 2011 6:54 pm Love this (banned) book! Thanks, Rebecca.
PS: You didn’t really need to put your pants on.
Lizbeth onSeptember 26th, 2011 9:36 pm It is really that interesting and I enjoy a lot in here but i got some info about this. Yeah! I can’t believe too that I still haven’t read this one. This English teacher feels really embarrassed to admit that. I’ll have to check it out soon! Thanks for sharing!

Rebecca Joines Schinsky onSeptember 26th, 2011 10:37 pm I know!! But I didn’t realize that until *after* we shot the video, and by then, the pants were on.

Jo onSeptember 27th, 2011 4:25 pm I’ve read this book years ago, and guess it’s time to re-read it again (in a more grown-up state of mind)

Rebecca Joines Schinsky onSeptember 27th, 2011 10:45 pm It’s from Out of Print Clothing. I also have one for Fahrenheit 451, but I thought that would be overkill…
Christine @ BookishlyB onSeptember 29th, 2011 9:15 pm My students are reading that right now for 10th grade English. So great to read AND teach!

Rebecca Joines Schinsky onSeptember 30th, 2011 9:37 am I know! I didn’t realize it until afterward, though. It was worth the putting on pants.
