Flowers for Algernon.

Taking a break from some of my recent heavy reading, I read 'Flowers for Algernon' yesterday. I hadn't read it since Junior High School, and it was one of my favorite books at the time. I was surprised to find a character named Fay that I don't remember being in the story at all. Whole sections of the book are missing either from my memory, or from my experience ( or both, if that's how you see it ). I think the version I read in Junior High was abridged ( read censored ), thanks to an argument the author makes about polygamy.

I fucking hate censorship.
