Some of my favorite books were banned

It is banned book week. I was surprised to see how many books I had read that were in the top 100 banned books. I think the freedom to read what we want is so important. It worries me that people don’t read as much as they used to. It worries me that people seem to take their freedoms for granted. I don’t understand the philosophy that I think this book is bad so no one else should read it. After looking through the list I just wonder why we are so uptight about sex.

So read a banned book. Just read. Share a quick book review of a favorite book that was banned. One of my favorite books when I was in junior high was A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle. I think I will go back and read it again.

Their numbers on banned books are pretty interesting – at least 6,364 challenges to shelved books available in schools and libraries.

Here’s the full list. I’m a little disappointed in myself – I’ve only read 26 of the 100! Makes me want to get crackin’ though.
