It is banned Book week, and the American Library association has complied a list of the 100 most frequently challenged books.
Funny thing, I have read a great many of these (over 40), and some are quite dear to me.I can not even begin to understand why some of these are challenged.
Just a quick sample of some of the books that some have tried to ban.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Of Mice and Men
Slaughterhouse-Five
The Handmaid's Tale
Pillars of the Earth
A Wrinkle in Time
Go Ask Alice
Lord of the Flies
To Kill a Mockingbird
Native Son
Brave New World
Thank to the Green Knight for the reminder.
