'Scuse me, Shelley, but some of those books actually take intelligence.
Actually the Old challenged authors are on the list, but it is in the Top
100 books, and the usual suspects are there including Mark Twain, and Louis
Carroll, what could they object to in Alice in Wonderland I wonder?
Smile, some of them are obvious why, but others, I can't figure it out.

Fascinating! Not one of the "old" banned authors is on the list, but they are books for adults, and probably the people who "contest" the books are more worried about children--although Forever is for adults, as I recall. Maybe these people are too young to have even heard about Henry Miller, D. H. Lawrence, and James Joyce; Memoirs of Fanny Hill; Memirs of Hecate County.

And naturally, since I like reading the stuff, may be seeing if I can add to the sites content in this way.
But a fascinating page.
