My...So many of my most beloved books are on there!<br /><br />My 11yo son is in a banned-book club at the local library. It is amazing how much wholesome children's entertainment was banned. Harry Potter, yes--I knew that was banned by some--but _Harriet the Spy_ was a bit of a surprise. _A Wrinkle in Time_ and _A Bridge to Terabithia_ are two that meant a lot to me growing up. And Susan Cooper's wonderful _The Dark is Rising_. The list goes on and on. <br /><br />Of course, the situation is often that parents don't want a book read in a particular classroom. (Honestly, Lady Chat. probably should not be read by third graders, right?)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543197858284977937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-35947946562333345522010-09-03T04:48:45.712-04:002010-09-03T04:48:45.712-04:00A few of those are on my reading list for the next...A few of those are on my reading list for the next few months anyway so I might paricipate. Lolita is one of them which I am looking forward to reading and the Color purple.<br /><br />I did attemp to read Lady Chatterley's Lover once but it was so dull and boring that I gave up.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861424110678889637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-2822768632390824052010-09-03T02:06:14.484-04:002010-09-03T02:06:14.484-04:00I'm doing the challenge too.

Loved #8, but it's possible that may be due to the fact that I wasn't allowed to read it in high school (long story) so as soon as I got ahold of it in college I was determined to love the heck out of it.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-26991223286359584242010-09-02T22:31:36.312-04:002010-09-02T22:31:36.312-04:00They seriously ban everything.
