Banned Books

Add to my lists | Print this list

This is a list of books that have been banned over the years by various institutions, from governments to school boards, for a host of usually ludicrous reasons. I think it is important to read these books, because an idea should never be banned, a book should never be burned, and no one has the right to tell me what is inappropriate. This is currently a work in progress, so the list is not in alphabetical order and there are some glaring oversights. If you know of a book that has been banned that is not on my list, please let me know.
