"IF I DID IT"
"O.J." has been much in the news this past week as a result of alledgedly committing armed robbery and "kidnapping" at a Las Vegas hotel. He is currently free on bond, pending another scheduled court appearance in October.
Also in the news is the fact that the Goldman family has purchased the rights to Simpson's book IF I DID IT which had previously been snuffed by the publisher. The Goldmans (parents of the man killed in the infamous murders of a decade ago) intend to market the book, slightly changing the title to eliminate doubt as to who committed the murders, in an attempt to obtain part of the money awarded them in the civil suit for wrongful death, after O.J. was cleared in the criminal suit.
This brings to mind that September 29th we begin BANNED BOOKS WEEK in this country. What are your thoughts regarding this book? SHOULD YOUR LIBRARY ADD THIS BOOK TO ITS COLLECTION?
If you don't think it should, what would be your justification in banning the book?
