Banned Books?

[Literati]

Does anyone else here have an affinity for banned books??

Sorry if this thread is a repeat, I looked for one but couldn't find it.

I actually have been looking up banned books. On Wikipedia.org, there is a long list of them and I've read some--Lois Lowry books, The Bridge to Terabithia, and of course Harry Potter--but some I have no interest in.

I read through quite a few banned books in high school. You really should have seen the looks on my teacher's faces when I brought in some of them. Most of the ones I read were the classic literature no longer deemed appropriate.

I do feel compelled to read books that have been banned because I always like to form my own opinion on a controversial topic rather than just following along with what someone else says. I don't actively seek them out, but I do pop them onto my TBR list and pick them up if I spot them at the library or on sale.

The most amusing banned book I can think of is that Fahrenheit 451 is banned in some schools, I wonder if any of these school systems have read the book and can see the irony in that.

I feel compelled to read any book that causes a public backlash.

I like to check out the lists of banned or challenged books just to see which ones I've already read.
