Banned Books

Those funny Americans and their love of banning books. Just one step away from burning them, really. Anyway, over at Dose Magazine, I found a link to a list of the 100 Most BannedChallenged Books in the US (1990-2000). The ones I’ve read:

  • The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
  • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
  • Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
  • The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
  • 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
  • The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell
  • Guess What? by Mem Fox
  • Lord of the Flies by William Golding
  • Carrie by Stephen King
  • The Dead Zone by Stephen King
  • The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
  • Where’s Waldo? by Martin Hanford
  • Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

I’m amazed as to the number of Roald Dahl books on there! And Where’s Waldo?.
