This book was mentioned on this forum a while ago, and I meant to get it but forgot about it. It's about some society where there's a statue or something with the alphabet on it, and as letters fall off of the statue, those letters are banned from society, at which point they no longer appear in the book (I think the book is comprised of letters from people in the society, maybe?). It might have been a slightly dystopian novel, although I'm not sure on that.

This series is from when I was way younger, and I can't remember the name. They're young teenager-level books, and they're set in a world where people aren't allowed to have more than two children due to the government - third children are taken away and never heard from again. The story itself follows the life of one of these third children, who lives his whole life hiding in his parents' house, basically, watching his two brothers get to actually go live life and such. Eventually he somehow meets another third child (who is a girl) and she doesn't buy into all the propaganda about the government can find you if you use a computer and this and that, they do stuff for a while, etc. Then she tries to get him to go to a third children rally somewhere but he doesn't and she does and then she dies at the rally. That was the first book, anyway, I don't really remember the others. I don't even want to reread it, it's just been bugging me that I can't recall the name of this.
