| And which ones? The list
I've read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Of Mice and Men, Goosebumps, Bridge to Terabithia, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Outsiders, The Anarchist Cookbook, Lord of the Flies, and Where's Waldo (if you want to call that last one reading  ).

| Well it's more about people not wanting libraries to carry them. They don't usually succeed in getting the books removed.
I've read... 3,5,6,7,9,14,15,22,23,38,41,43,47,49,56,57,70,84,88,96 I borrowed 57 from a friend. Don't ask me. |

| Oh, I actually just assumed it wasn't the real Where's Waldo, but like a novel with that same title. | |||

| Hmm, I´ve only read Lord of the Flies and a wee bit of Slaughterhouse-five. Can say that I got bored of the latter.
I see that there´re Stephen King books in that list and he´s one of my favorite writers so I should read some more by him. We have several of those books in that list on my school. Lord of the Flies was awesome, though. |

| I have never been the one to read many books, so the only book from that list which I have read would be The Outsiders. And that was for a school project in English, back in 1st grade at high school. |

| The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck Harry Potter (Series) by J.K. Rowling The Giver by Lois Lowry Goosebumps (Series) by R.L. Stine The Witches by Roald Dahl To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee The Pigman by Paul Zindel (I own this book but I haven't read it )
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl Where’s Waldo? by Martin Hanford How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell All of those are awesome books too. Except maybe Pigman, but I can't pass judgement on it. I also see several of those are sex education books Isn't it a bit obvious the content is going to be disputable...? |

| Of Mice and Men (ninth grade assignment), Harry Potter (spare time, mostly on sick days), Bridge to Terabithia (sixth grade assignment), The Giver (sixth grade assignment), To Kill a Mockingbird (ninth grade assignment), Lord of the Flies (tenth grade assignment).
That's all, and most of them (as you can see) were for school. |

| I found This
1984 in that list saddens me, considering it says that it promotes communism. While communism could as well be exactly like the 1984 world. 
Actually, censoring always saddens me. I don't care if Harry potter, Where's waldo ,random sex education book or Mein kamph would get banned.
Skimming through the list, I only read the Harry potter books and parts of the anarchist cookbook (i'm really curious about stuff, even if i'm sane enough to NOT do it) Hmm, I think I have read the witches too. o.o |

| I've read about half of those books... Seriously, Where's Waldo got banned... They ban books for either good reasons, but mostly small reasons that don't matter much. 1984 is a good reason to ban a book... Ailure... Is that a scythe and hammer as your name?
