Twelve years later, this Catalogue had to be included among its own contents because people were using it as a guide to stimulating reading.

0 Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thats funny. The contents of the "Catalogue of Forbidden books" are now forbidden on more than one level. Not even their titles can be discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) This paradox reads really well. Unfortunately, I can solve it. If the catalog had been kept classified, this scenario might not have happened. However, I disagree with classification all together including making things forbidden. Another question pops up. Who is responsible for this paradox, the government or the unruly citizens?
