It was required 9th grade reading when I was in High School.

Yeah I know, still doesn't neglect the fact I can't take it serious.
I mean if "To kill a Mockingbird" is the number 4 most challenged book on this list, it tells me that no matter how controversial, poorly written, etc the other books are the people challenging these books to make this list do not have an understanding of literature.
Thus they fail. Thus civilization is one step closer to an idiocracy. To Kill a Mockingbird should never be lumped in a top five with any of these other books.
