The ALA's 100 most challenged books

Poliblog asks which of the 100 most frequently challenged books have you read?

I've read:

#5 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
#7 Harry Potter series
#13 The Catcher in the Rye
#22 A Wrinkle in Time
#41 To Kill a Mockingbird
#47 Flowers for Algernon
#52 Brave New World
#69 Slaughter-House Five
#70 Lord of the Flies
#84 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

I've seen the movie of (hey, Poliblog lists these. . . .):

#4 The Chocolate War
#83 The Dead Zone

There certainly seems to be a somewhat common thread of defiance of authority in my list. . . .

I've read 22 and saw one movie (Brave New World). It was fun going through the list and trying to identify what was probably deemed offensive. Some of the picks are easy, but some of the others are baffling. A Light in the Attic? Where's Waldo? How to Eat Fied Worms?

Geeze, don't forget to throw "Ralph and the Motorcycle" and "Ribsy" on the burn pile!

WOW! You've read all those? Well, guess your soul will be burning in heck for all eternity.

To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the first book authored by an American that I read.

Tung, Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale (#37) is a must-read! :)

The Lord of the Flies is a terribly disturbing book and movie.
