BANNED books - how many have you read?

[HauntyMython]

Some libraries, including the one I work in, recently had a Banned Books display - turns out it's a national thing and different councils do it each year or something?

here's the list

How many have you read? Any that are particularly good/bad?

I have read 15 of them I think - favourites being Brave New World, Handmaid's Tale and To Kill A Mockingbird.

Currently ploughing through LOTR - DH has read the trilogy 17 times so I thought I should try it (I loved the Hobbit).

Also (I have several books on the go) reading Tropic of Cancer but OMG it is absolutely vile, far more bodily functions, parasites etc than I feel comfortable with

Any thoughts on this list then? :)

Wow, I have read 63!
I worked in a school that tried to ban the Phillip Pullman trilogy. Fortunately common sense prevailed.

22 read, plus a handful I saw in the film versions only.

I feel like I've stopped reading anything longer than short stories since having kids and getting internet at home but am amazed to find I've still read 35 off the list. There was a time as a teen my library had a list of books that had been previously banned in different places and I spent my summer working through the list, so that helped quite a bit for this.

It has given me some ideas of what to put onto my Amazon wish list, so thanks for the link!
