[taeric]

Don't know if people were aware of it or not, but evidently it is banned books week.

Anyone read any of the listed books?

 

[Sp`ange]

I've read a buncha of the books on the top 100 list. most of them are pretty good kids books.

Why is How to Eat Fried Worms banned?

Its obviously the devil

 

[APRIL]

Banning them just makes me want to read them more.

 

[APRIL]

"The Chocolate War" for sexual content, offensive language, religious viewpoint, being unsuited to age group and violence

 

[b_sinning]

The bible has caused more violent acts than any other book written but it's not banned.

Yeah, lots of sex and violence in it too.
People begetting eachother and nailing folks to bits of wood and whatnot.

I read "Are you there God? It's me Margaret", it's a really good book but I haven't read it in years. It's still in my collection though.

 

[Syrup Beaver]

"Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture" by Michael A. Bellesiles, for inaccuracy and political viewpoint

It's amusing that this one is banned, it IS essentially a complete crock of shit that's been debunked numerous times, but there's lots of books like that out there :shrug:

And the Canterbury Tales as well

I read that book.

Spoilers: They eat worms in it and the main character gets a mini-bike at the end.

Which is the book where the kids eat all sorts of bugs? Is it this one?

You might be thinking of "Beetles, Lightly Toasted" which ends up being a brownie ingredient. Mmmmm, beetles in brownies

HOT - WHERE IS JJ???

Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by A.N. Roquelaure (Anne Rice)

OMG yes!!! That's the one! Funny book for kids.

edit: I read the first book in the Sleeping Beauty trilogy, but never got any further. Very interesting take on the fairy tale, I liked the book quite a bit, but it is basically porn.

 

[Sarcasmo]

I can't believe Bret Easton Ellis didn't make the most challenged author list for 1990-2004. I think every single one of his books has pissed someone off.

edit: He did make #60 on the book list though.

 

[ZRH]

You realise these are books that have been banned or challenged anywhere at any time? It's hardly worth even looking at, just something for hippies to masturbate to while complaining about the man.

Chocolate chip cookies?
