If it is true that Amazon is removing books that they deem to have sexual content from their rankings, then I'm afraid we will shortly be removing all Amazon links from this site, as we strongly disapprove of this act of indirect censorship. Books removed from the rankings allegedly include Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty, Jeanette Winterson's Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, E.M.Forster's Maurice, and some serious works of psychology.
For more on this issue, read the piece on The Guardian's website here.
UPDATE: Amazon claim it was a 'glitch' and are re-ranking everything, see here.
Has everything Larry Grayson fought for been lost? Have they really shut the door on his achievements?
Remove the Amazon links and bring them to their knees.
