book banning

Wow, a defintion where you get to listen to someone ramble on about why they are against censorship. Well, here goes:
Book banning is when books are removed from children's reading lists because of sexual content, death, violence, magic, anti-religious themes, drugs, homosexulality, transgenders, transvesites, and any other fucked up reason those conservative, bible-banging southerners can come up with! (Excuse my French). Some books, such as the Harry Potter series were banned because they contain magic and sorcery and the eye of some religious schools, magic is the work of the devil and kids shouldn't read about because it will take them away from there faith. A kid can read Harry Potter and still believe in God, for God's sake. Some books were banned because a character was homosexual, or a transvesite, and homosexuality is considered evil! Sometimes, a character will dress up as a boy (or a girl) and the book will be banned. A character will die of natural causes, and the book will be banned. A character will say the word "pee" or "poop" and the book will be banned. A character will commit suicide and the book will be banned. A character will say the word sex and the book will be banned. A character will talk about death or say the word "die" and the book will be banned. A character will say a swear word such as "crap" or "damn" and the book will be banned. I can understand books being banned because of racism or vivid sexual scenes, or vivid violent scenes. Banning books from children does nothing except make the children more curious as to why the books have been banned! However, I believe that schools can ban whatever they want, because it's not always up to the children to make the best choices on what kind of book they should read. But banning books from libraries is WRONG! People have the freedom to read whatever they want and the fucking government should have absolutely nothing to do with it! I want you to end book banning and censorship NOW!
To all you book banning bastards out there: GO FUCK YOURSELF!

book lust

When you want buy a book but you can't (yet) because of various reasons — it's either too expensive, you already have a copy but this one has a really pretty book cover, or you haven't finished reading the last one you bought.
I'm on a book lust. I want to buy these books but I'm so broke.

Book Off

An adjective to refer to something of incredible value. A deal so ludicrous that it makes you wonder how a store could possibly be profiting from selling a product at such a low amount. The term originates from the second hand store chain in Japan known by the same name.
Person1: 10$ for 30 mint condition volumes of manga!? How is this even possible?
Person2: Yeah man, that's quite the Book Off deal.

Book affair

Reading a short casual fun book (usually a paperback or trade paperback) while attempting to read a much longer more complex book.
I was trying to get through Les Miserables by Victor Hugo but for my birthday, my husband gave me the first three books of the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay. I was forced to have a book affair because I wanted to read the Dexter books so badly!

Book Bunny

A girl who is typically very introverted and into secluded hobbies such as reading but also dedicate a large portion of their life and thoughts to sex. These girls tend to make good girlfriends because they want to stay at home and self indulge in their hobbies then ride you to completion. However, beware for they are still 'bunnies' and thirst for sex and are prone to cheating when emotionally unhappy.
My last girlfriend was a book bunny, she was perfectly content at home until she met a guy who catered only to her carnal desires.
