cool! i like that list… are there any books on that list that are still banned… can they actually ban books these days?

But I went to look up the origins of this list for more information. It’s called the 100 most frequently banned books of 1990-2000, put out by the American Library Association. Here’s the original list/announcement:

I’m sure books can still be banned, but librarians are tenacious folk, and they seem to keep the books around regardless. I live in Alabama, and you can be damn sure somebody here is trying to ban them! WHICH ONLY MAKES ME WANT TO READ THEM MORE!

(That’s the only reason I read that Howard Stern book – because of the stink people made about it!)

yes, books can still be banned in school districts. i do a report on censorship every year. many books are challenged each year. i applaud you for try to read them, as i am trying myself. dont give up on them. they can be difficult someitmes, but they usally turn out to be very good books. by the way, spetember 24- october 1 is banned books week, so celebrate by reading a banned book!

this list online today. I saw a link to it on another blog. I copied the list and marked all the ones I have read. I am going to repost that as my first entry for this goal. I couldn’t believe how many I have already read. Many of them before I was 16.
