10 great science fiction novels that have been banned

@djscruffy: In defense of public schools, I would suggest that the reason many of these books are challenged so often is that they're frequently included in school curriculums and libraries. I grew up in a state that, according to these links, engaged in book-burning less than a decade before my birth. That makes me shudder. But I'm also the child of a public school teacher and am familiar with my mother's and many of her peers' views on children's reading materials. Despite the generally conservative views in my community, my elementary school encouraged me to read A Wrinkle in Time and The Giver and Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret. I suppose I've wandered a bit. @djscruffy: To be fair, it's not usually the schools that want to ban the books, but the few overprotective parents who make wild assumptions about the books we try to teach.

Matamata , The Land Where Hobbits Live

It is known for its unpolluted air and beautiful scenery. I am all for peaceful life, but a few things, changed when a large farm near Matamata was chosen to be the site of Hobbiton, home of hobbits, in the Lord of the rings film! The movie company had a new road made to reach the remote set. They also had 37, ‘hobbit-homes’, built, into grassy hillside. This style of home is environmentally friendly, because the earth-covered walls and grassy roof, reduce amount of heat they lose.

When filming was over, the company was about to have the set destroyed so that they did not spoil the beautiful natural habitat.
