Can't help but wonder if the list
for Banned Books isn't the best
recommendation for your next
read?!
I got to reading some of the lists
yesterday and recognized that I
had already read quite a few of
them. The below 15 are my faves.
Obviously, I can appreciate a
parent not wanting their children
reading porn or sado masochistic
materials. But, looking at these,
I would highly recommend them
to my kids and friends.
Last but not least, I actually taught
some of these in the classroom. I
didn't know at the time that they
were banned books, just fabulous
literature!
Wow!
