Your (Banned) Reading List

Today's the last day of Banned Books Week, so I thought I'd point to one more link on the subject.

Britney Wilkins at the Online College Degree blog has a list entitled, "50 Banned Books That Everyone Should Read." She has divided the list according to reasons the books have been banned or challenged. The reasons and a few of the titles:

• "Protect the Children" (Catcher in the Rye and Harry Potter)
• "Religion and Politics" (Satanic Verses and Grapes of Wrath)
• "Sex" (Lady Chatterley's Lover and Tropic of Cancer)
• "Race and Gender" (To Kill a Mockingbird and Color Purple)
•  "Multiple Reasons" (The most ironic title here: Fahrenheit 451)

All in all, a pretty distinguished list of books, found in its entirety here.

Read freely!
