      @neilhimself of his beliefs and values. Why the sign? Liberals should do so well. (And you know that not all Christians are like this...)

      @gmmmmnnxk Why the sigh? Because he's saying he can't read it without sin BUT HE KNOWS WHAT'S IN THERE WITHOUT READING IT. He doesn't.

      @neilhimself I didn't write an article, but I did make a decision to NOT read something before knowing what was in the book...

      @gmmmmnnxk Fine. But you aren't a college student, being assigned a book to read.

      @neilhimself content. What do you think is the solution for such things (asking seriously)?

      @gmmmmnnxk I think if you don't wish to encounter ideas that could challenge you you go to eg a Christian College where such things aren't.

      @neilhimself Thank you for answering, and I hope you aren't driving and tweeting. <g> Not that *I* would do such a thing. Uhm. Never.

      @neilhimself did you even read the article completely? I dont think that kid lives under a rock. Great points on self-identity. Brave kid.

      @djb_in_cbus I did. I don't see bravery there.

      @neilhimself the guy speaks out online, gives unpopular opinion. Gets mocked and now marked as a supposed oaf in prestigious school.

      @djb_in_cbus @neilhimself Sorry, putting your self-indulgent ignorance out on display isn't bravery. Fun House isn't about sex & isn't porn

      @Xeryfyn @djb_in_cbus but you'd have to read it to find this out.

      @neilhimself @Xeryfyn Amazon has pretty clear reviews/descriptions on books. Do you have to buy/read a book to know you wont like it?

      @djb_in_cbus @Xeryfyn Do you have to like every book you read in college?

      @neilhimself @Xeryfyn diff between liking a book and having your conscious violated from reading something

      @neilhimself the guy doesn't want to read (what he considers) pornography. Good for him.Why are we hating on him?

    2. Neil Gaiman ‏@neilhimself 25 Aug 2015

      @liminalsoup I'm not hating on him, but I feel very sorry for him. FUN HOME isn't porn. He's opting out of reading books that challenge him.
