Cunt: A Declaration of Independence

I have a story about this book:
When I was in college I worked at Barnes and Noble and I happened to be working in receiving when this book arrived. I pulled a stack of Cunts out of the box and asked the older, more conservative gentleman that I was working alongside a question about...where the book went or something, I can't remember exactly. He promptly gathered the Cunts up and said "This is what we do with books like this" and dumped them in a box of books to be returned to the publisher. He said they were inappropriate, we couldn't shelve them.
I decided to raise hell. I gave my manager a talking to about censorship then I shortlisted 10 more of them and put them on the staff rec shelf next to the Vagina Monologues. They stayed there until a customer complained.
Having said that all that, I actually only read part of this book, I thought it was a little lame and I'm tired of people trying to "reclaim" words.

Last night my boyfriend asked if there was anything he could bring in from the living room for me. I was like, "Yeah, actually...could you grab Cunt?" Made him laugh ;D
then in my hippie americorps program, my little book made the rounds. i started having people sign the front of it so i could see how far one book could go. again, everyone was fighting over cunt. i also have a cunt shirt that made quite the first impression on many people.
