Found this on [livejournal.com profile] darthneko's lj - Top 100 banned books.

Here's my list of ones I've read:

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 Color Purple by Alice Walker

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by A.N. Roquelaure (Anne Rice)

The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

Lord of the Flies by William Golding

Native Son by Richard Wright

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

Where’s Waldo? by Martin Hanford

How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell

I've read a number of others, but they didn't make the list. . . Anyone know why Where's Waldo was banned? Stump one too many people?

This (http://title.forbiddenlibrary.com/) says:

"Challenged at the Public Libraries of Saginaw, Mich. (1989), Removed from the Springs Public School library in East Hampton, N.Y. (1993) because there is a tiny drawing of a woman lying on the beach wearing a bikini bottom but no top."

Wonder how long it took them to find that. . . there must have been a committee involved.
