My husband (gee, ya think he knows I like to read ;) ) sent me a link today talking about Banned Books. The article recommended checking out Google Book Search.
This page lists books whose presence in libraries around the country has been challenged.
I'll mention some of my favorites that I've seen scanning through the list, and can't imagine being denied the opportunity to read them (most in high school, some in college):
Catcher in the Rye
1984
Lord of the Flies
Grapes of Wrath
Of Mice and Men
Brave New World
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Gone With the Wind
The Call of the Wild
Good stuff there... maybe I should check out the rest of the books on that list, which I haven't yet read.
