I guess I'll have to read more to find out why (not that I'd ever take them out, I'm just curious).<br /><br />I'm not surprised, but still disappointed, that so many others are on the list-Harry Potter, Bridge to Terabithia, etc.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587372524515284184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529746119967491652.post-18642274001252531352011-10-01T17:21:51.397-04:002011-10-01T17:21:51.397-04:00Many of them surprise me!

I have read over twenty over the books on this list, and about another 10 are on my tbr list (not pile, lol). I would read many of the ones I've already read over again because they were that good! <br /><br />The ones that surprised me most were actually some of the newer ones. I understand the older books being banned in the past because of the culture difference but many books are still being banned for reasons that were implemented more strongly in the 50's and 60's.mirrormera92https://www.blogger.com/profile/09815489806880407247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529746119967491652.post-53288605704797766752011-10-01T14:18:00.309-04:002011-10-01T14:18:00.309-04:00I had no idea that so many of the books I have rea...I had no idea that so many of the books I have read and am currently reading were banned.
