And not in a good way.
A few of my books that have found a spot among the hundred most challenged titles:
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451
John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany
William Golding’s Lord of the Flies
Judith Guest’s Ordinary People
J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye
Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird
Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter (the entire series)
Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight (the entire series)
Banned Books Week is September 22–28, 2013.
And people who ban books are monsters! And the only way to smite them is to spite them by encouraging others to read what they would ban.
Every book is not to my taste, but one thing I’ve learned over the years: There truly are readers out there for every book. I wouldn’t deny them their opportunity.
off topic – i saw a bunch of Monster dolls in a bargin store the other day. i need a list of which ones you want…
ALL OF THEM! I will look and see. =)
I need any versions of Holt Hyde, Torelei, and Clawd Wolf.
I love To Kill A Mockingbird. One of my favourite American books.
It may very well be my favorite book of all time.
