Banned Book Week

It’s banned book week. Go out and read a banned book today.

The American Library Association has published a list of 100 most frequently challenged books. Here are the ones I’ve read:

  • Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
  • Harry Potter (Series) by J.K. Rowling
  • The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
  • A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
  • The Witches by Roald Dahl
  • To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  • Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
  • Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
  • James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl
  • Lord of the Flies by William Golding

Which ones have you read?

The only book I can add to my list from there is The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. Mordecai would be thrilled that one of his books made the list.

Shel Silverstein? Are you kidding me?
Although…as I have commented before, Judy Bloom did venture into grody territory with the Margaret one.

Shel Silverstein. Well I’ll be.
