that's due to hit bookstores soon?When someone says the words "banned" and "books" in the same breath, do you get all blotchy in the face and feel the need to sit down before your head explodes?

If so, then Gabriel Diani and Etta Devine have just the thing for you. The satiric duo has come up with a "solution" for the N-word problem of Mark Twain's oh-so-troublesome text.

Next, I'd like to propose that we replace all instances of the word "Indian" in The Last of the Mohicans
