	In 1559, the first Index of Prohibited Books published earlier in the year by the Vatican was found so severe that Pope Paul IV issued a "mitigation" to lessen the Index's impact. No one bothered to publish the mitigation until 1909.
	Harriet Beecher Stowe was born on this day in 1811. Her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin not only became the best-selling novel in the world but also energized the abolitionist movement in America, ultimately leading to emancipation.
	English poet Edward Fitzgerald (The English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam) died on this day in 1883
	English humourist Jerome K. Jerome (Three Men in a Boat) died on this day in 1927
	G. K. Chesterton, prolific and highly influential writer and poet, died on this day in 1936
	Harry Turtledove (How Few Remain) was born on this day in 1949
	The Index Librorum Prohibitorum ("List of Prohibited Books"), was abolished on this day in 1966, ending a 427 year ban on books prohibited by the Catholic Church. Notable authors whose works had been listed include Jean Paul Sartre, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Immanuel Kant, René Descartes, Francis Bacon, John Milton, Galileo Galilei, and Blaise Pascal. Interestingly, neither Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf nor any works of Charles Darwin were ever included.
	Roger Zelazny (Nine Princes in Amber) died on this day in 1995
	Adam Mansbach's "Children's Book for Adults" Go the F**k to Sleep was published on this day in 2011. Originally intended to be released in October of that year, PDF copies were distributed via email, creating an unintended viral marketing campaign that propelled the book's Amazon ranking to No. 1 by May 12, prompting the publisher to move the publication date up to this day and increase the first printing to 150,000 copies. Its flash fame sparked controversy about the use of profanity in a "children's" book, and celebrity readings by actors Jennifer Garner, LeVar Burton, Kevin Pollak, and Samuel L. Jackson were also virally popular.
