Shopping time.
So, welcome once more to my annual Banned book shopping list! The American Library Association has once more put out their annual list of "most challenged" books. This is a wonderful service. What they’ve failed to do is create an easy way of buying these books...
I’ve fixed that problem. Listed below are the top 10 most challenged books of 2005 with links to Barnes and Noble and Amazon. Remember: buying a banned book is penance for one venal sin. Donating a banned book to a library lets you go strait to heaven when you die. So what are you waiting for? Clicky click!
"It's Perfectly Normal" by Robie H. Harris (Amazon)
"Forever" by Judy Blume (Amazon)
"The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger (Amazon)
“The Chocolate War” by Robert Cormier (Amazon)
"Whale Talk" by Chris Crutcher (Amazon)
"Detour for Emmy" by Marilyn Reynolds (Amazon)
"What My Mother Doesn't Know" by Sonya Sones (Amazon)
Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey (Amazon)
"Crazy Lady!" by Jane Leslie Conly (Amazon)
"It's So Amazing! A Book about Eggs, Sperm, Birth, Babies, and Families" by Robie H. Harris (Amazon)
You can find the all-time top 100 list here. Remember! "Liberty" and "Library" come from the same same root word...
