Odd, Traps. I just see a box where his name should be. I suppose its due to not having a certain character set enabled, however. No worries, though.

Yeah I've read my brother sam is dead to... I forgot. It was like a 5th grade assignment. How could something a fifth grader comprehend be banned?

The Giver
Goosebumps
To Kill a Mockingbird

Of the list, I've read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin, Harry Potter (Series), The Catcher in the Rye, The Giver, A Day No Pigs Would Die, A Wrinkle In Time, Flowers for Algernon, James and the Giant Peach, The Anarchist Cookbook, Lord of the Flies, Native Son, and Where's Waldo, for a total of 13.

That list may well become my new "to-read" list.

Well, after I finish The Book of Five Rings and everything by Pratchett.

The book was written during the time when slavery was just outlawed and there was still segregation. The story has Jim, a black person. He is portrayed as a hero of sorts or at least a good guy.
Which is the reason why it is banned from libraries... or was...

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Goosebumps (Series) by R.L. Stine
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Three... yeah... ummm... not that much.

I'm fairly certain it was banned because it makes use of the word "Nigger."

Well, I've read the following:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Harry Potter
Bridge to Terabithia
Goosebumps
The Stupids
The Witches
Blubber
James and the Giant Peach
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret
Where Did I Come From?
Where’s Waldo Wally?
How to Eat Fried Worms


And yes, it's Where's Wally. It's only Waldo for the US (and probably Canadian) version; the original was made in the UK under the name Where's Wally, and so UK and Australian children grew up with Wally not Waldo

Judy Blume gets as bad a rep as Dahl...
