truth. i took a class in college called "the novel" for one of my electives and had to read beloved and holy shit is that a terrible book. this was back in the early 90's and i was still a leftist hippie and even then it was too much for me. not only was it poorly written and had terrible character development, the whole book was just a negress complaining that the men who were interested in her weren't good enough. i don't remember any reason it would be banned anywhere other than the fact that it's a worthless waste of time to read.
