Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time causing controversy in Texas.

From the Galveston County Daily News:

FRIENDSWOOD — The community of Friendswood is neck deep in discussion about the novel “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.”

Unfortunately, the discussion is not literary.

On Monday, Friendswood Mayor Kim Brizendine issued a proclamation declaring Jan. 31 Galveston County Reads Day for “all citizens, teens to seniors.”

Note that the issue is over a VOLUNTARY "One City, One Book" program geared towards people in their TEENS on up.  Fun abounds:  The mayor endorsed the novel without reading it and then retracted the endorsement, a city councilman got to the F-bomb on page 4 and freaked out.  Read the article -- there are some wonderful quotes.
