Books Banned in the US
 
You'd be surprised at what books have been banned in the US.

Uncle Tom's Cabin
A Separate Piece
Lord of the Flies
Where the Sidewalk Ends (Poetry)
To Kill a Mocking Bird
Superfudge
A lot of Stephen King books
Huckelberry Finn
The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank)

Just to name a few of them.

I swear I feel like I'm in the twlight zone being on this board.



Well...I specifically remember reading the Catcher in the Rye while in high school. I read it on my own though because I heard Hinkley's crazy self read it before he tried to kill Reagan. Or, was that someone else?

hmmm
