In honor of Banned Books Month, instead of suggesting books, I’m going to suggest you check the American Library Associations’ Lists of frequently banned books on their website,  http://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10.

Many of the books on The ALA’s Top 10 Most Challenged Books for any year are award winning novels from exceptional authors.

Great works of literature have frequently been banned. How many of these books have you read?
