We used to have so much fun with our copy of The Anarchists Cookbook back when we were in high school.What's the deal with putting Harry Potter on the list but not The Satanic Bible? Hmmmmmm
Somebody loved to hate on Stephen King during the 1990's. 4 books on the list!To Kill a Mockingbird? Whats so offensive about To Kill a Mockingbird?
It's usually one or two people who get their panties in a wad over something stupid. Language is a big issue for them. Use of the N word has gotten so many books banned, even if the book was about promoting equality. It's ironic considering they are banning stuff made up of words

I think Fahrenheit 451 is the most ironic book to want banned.

Perks of Being a Wallflower! :DI love that book so much! Though I can understand why it would be banned...
I saw the Perks movie and it underwhelmed me. I guess the homosexuality in it gets it banned?
Wow how weird, 6 of those books I read in school! and Goosebumps? Those were the only books I wanted to read as a kid! I don't know about some of those..

I see a large number of books that were considered classic YA novels that should be in every school library back in the 80s!My how times change!
