No! Don't let them read about controversy!

List of the top 110 banned books (of all time). Bold the ones you've read. Italicize the ones you've read part of. Underline the ones you specifically want to read (at least some of). Read more. Convince others to read some.

I don't know if I should be disturbed by the number of them I haven't read but want to or what.
