As for ME reading Tyrant - well, I started reading the first 'cos it was Piers Anthony, and I liked the 'hero' from when he was a kid. Then I was hooked and had to read the rest - though they WERE a bit much in places, I admit! Some really nasty stuff

I argued the case for the book with my school board (I was a trouble-maker, I guess, claiming Freedom of speech and literature.) In Texas, though, the mention of incest is considered less than appropriate for high-school. That one (implied) mention was enough to get the whole series banned while i was there. We were also relieved of the D&D club I was in, the same year.
I countered by buying the series myself in paperback and loaning it to my other geek friends. We also played D&D in our chess club. We got in trouble for his
Pornucopia though....
