It's the American Library Association's Banned Books Week. As an intense lover of books, it's a good day to say "Boo Yah!" to those darn censors and go read a banned book. A few recommendations from the list of commonly banned books:
- The Color Purple
- Harry Potter
- Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.
- Brave New World
- Bridge to Terabithia
- The Giver
- How to Eat Fried Worms
- The Great Gatsby
- Their Eyes Were Watching God
- James and the Giant Peach
Did I miss any other good ones?
