Book Discuss

"What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish. Here's the twist: add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read 'em for school in the first place."

What do you think of the books banned? Do you think they deserve to be banned?

Ironically enough most of the books I've read that were "banned", were school requirements. I'm not a big fan of banning, but I could see why some younger kids would want to opt out of reading certain books. Though most of the list made me think "why the heck is that banned?".
