That list is ridiculous!!


The books that are sex related...some people need to get the stick up out of their a$$ and stop being prudes.

It's funny how some excellent books are so controversial and are banned, yet people can publish how to guide on homemade bombs and weapons, and people don't seem to mind.


ETA...(because I have more to say): I've read 13 books (not including the ones that are series because I've either read the entire series or most of them). This must be an American list because most of these books are available in libraries in Canadian schools and have never been looked at as controversial. A lot of these books are required reading, including Harry Potter in a course at my university.
I can't believe Margaret Atwood made that list. I read The Handmaid's Tale. It was a disturbing book, but it was excellent. Margaret Atwood is a famous Canadian author and her books are almost always required reading. I love her. I have read several of her books, and she's still writing. I can't imagine anyone here trying to ban her. It's shocking..SHOCKING this list.

Okay, I think I am done now.
