In case you missed it (we did) here is the Register's coverage of Saddleback College's  Banned Books Week event.  Sounds wonderful.


excerpt: 
"Members of several Saddleback College fine arts departments performed pieces inspired by works of literature in a show called “Bodies and Ink,” Saturday at the college. The show celebrated National Banned Books Week at the school’s library and Learning Resource Center. Three more shows will take place this weekend. The performing arts students, members of the dance, music, speech, theatre arts and visual arts programs, created 11 site-specific performances pieces based on works of literature in an 80-minute program."
