Always a fascinating list: Top 100 Banned or Challenged Books of 1990-1999. But why Of Mice and Men is banned more often than Catcher in the Rye is beyond me.

Un-believable. I'd like to know the reason some of them are on that list. Course, I'm gonna run out and buy a copy of all the ones I don't already have ; )

you know, for any writer on that list, it must be great to know that one of their books was so questionable/*uh i forget the other word i was going to use!* that it had to be banned.
and i read Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson In 5th grade, for school.

ahhh this list is pissing me off!

Sorry to bug you!

I liked a lot of the books on the list, too.

Re:

the part that bugged me the most was that some people who hadnt read the book, wanted it banned.
