From the 100 Most Challenged Books 1990-2000, bold the ones you've read and pass on the meme. If you're committed to the freedom to read and to publish, pick one off the list that you haven't read and exercise your library card or better yet, buy one for a child.

I'm a huge nerd, out of 100 I've read 68 of those

Any idea why some of these are challenged/banned? I know a few were challenged on grounds of racism, violence and/or sexual (s.k.a. religious) grounds, but some don't really make sense. I mean, we were forced to read Lord Of The Flies, To Kill A Mocking Bird and Brave New World in school; granted, it was high school, but even in elementary school we had a student teacher read us How To Eat Fried Worms as part of his approved curriculum.

Agreed. I've already read some of these... they aren't that "bad". Damn book burners...
