    Its really funny looking at the list of banned books. I already own half of them, it just makes me feel like I gotta go buy the rest and complete my collection!

      Books are not banned widely in the country, or (to my knowledge) in any state or municipality. All of these books may be legally sold, purchased, owned, read, given, traded, etc. anywhere in the US. These books are banned specifically from schools and libraries, and usually by a local school board or similar; meaning that the constitutional prohibition on Congress making any law abridging freedom of speech (and the similar provision in most state constitutions) doesn’t apply.

    The only book I’ve read in that collection is 1984, but I do own digital copies of Slaughterhouse Five and The Kite Runner. Does anyone have any recommendations from the other books?

        Thanks - somehow I’d never come across that book before but it sounds great and is highly acclaimed. I’ll add it to my wishlist :)
