It's Banned Books Week this week (September 25–October 2, 2010) which means it's time to celebrate freedom of speech by reading your favorite banned books, or picking up something new and controversial. If you need help with ideas, The American Library Association has a list of frequently challenged books on their website. Also, today the Guardian published a list of the top ten most challenged titles.
Some of my favorite challenged and banned books:
The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
A Separate Peace by John Knowles
So, you tell me: what are your favorite banned books?
