Yanked from [livejournal.com profile] dawning_star's journal, is the top 100 list for Banned Books. Bolded are the ones I've read.

Banned Books )

Some of these books I can understand. A lot I just...don't. It speaks of a lack of parents wanting to sit down with their kids and help them to understand life. I read a lot of these books as part of my required reading for school. This is a case where society refuses to think outside of the box and won't take responsibility for making sure that children grow up as well-rounded people. And folks wonder what's wrong with the world...

The funniest one on the list? Why the heck would you ban "Where's Waldo"?? And Shel Silverstein's "A Light in the Attic"???
