As I perused the Full List of Funny YA Books I noticed the Diary of A Wimpy Kid. In my district, one of the LRCs pulled this book from circulation because of a complaint/complaints about bullying. I have not read this book and wonder what subscribers think about this. I would imagine many of you are as upset as I am at the thought of a book being pulled off the shelf. But what about the validity of the complaint about bullying in this book? Would anyone care to comment? Marcy Troy

> I'm attempting now to send to you the fantastic list of books created here

> to say the list.? These months have also provided ample opportunity to
> consider all that is joyful and right with the world.? Great books, such
> as these, certainly belong on that list, and I intend to explore them with
> enthusiasm in the weeks and months ahead.

> Some of you had indicated you might want this list for summer

> However you approach it, I do hope each of you will become acquainted with

> I am pasting the list below, but I will also try sending it as an
