Top 100 banned books

 

I have read several of these in school, and I think schools shouldn't ban books, in fact the more controversial a book is, the more inciteful it usually is, so I don't think books should be banned, but all should be read at schools.

The asshole also liked to burn them

God forbid kids read books and not do anything violent. :fyou fascistic censorship bastards

 

I've read a bunch of these books either in school or just for something to do.

The Joy of Sex is banned..?? :o

How the f*** can they ban Wheres Waldo? What is so immoral about that series? I liked those.

 

And dont ban books about sex. No matter what you think, sex is one of the fundamental functions of the human race, and for that matter, all races and species...

In the list mentioned above The Dead Zone and James and the Giant Peach are the only ones I did not read in school, though my teacher had to Petition to allow us to read Slaughterhouse-five

Well, I don't think schools should read the joy of sex, or the joy of straight sex, or sex in school...

Not all species do/must have sex.

I read that in 7th grade English, perhaps we were too young to see some of the underlying meanings but everybody liked it, I won't give away the ending for you but it is a great book. the movie is also good IMO

For the most part, I hate stupid ass books we have to read in school. Read I Am The Cheese in ninth grade and it sucked. What a stupid premise. I think we need to read some of those books about sex instead cuz Im one horny motherf***er... :lol:

Tell me what its about so I wont have to read the stupid f***in thing. I wont like it and neither will one kid in my class. I wanna read "Sex" by Madonna.

 

"The New Joy of Gay Sex"? Ugh. Glad to see that one on the list...

The Catcher in the Rye was an awesome book.

 

Other books on their that I've read:

Of Mice and Men

James and the Giant Peach (What the hell?)

Adventures of Huck Finn (one of my favorite reads)

The Giver (Don't remember much of it; probably one I went with the cliffnote version ;) )

Goosebumps (read like one of them..never liked them but I know they were popular)

To Kill A Mocking Bird (Good book)

Brave New World (Awesome....much like one of my favorite movies...Gattaca)

The Anarchist Cookbook (Learned a few tricks from that :lol: )

Wheres Waldo (HUH)

 

One I never read and thank goodness for it:

What’s Happening to my Body? Book for Boys: A Growing-Up Guide for Parents & Sons by Lynda Madaras

Right now I am reading 3 books for school

 

English: The Return of the Native, boring as hell

 

History: Selling the President, just started so far so good

 

War and American Society: One mans initiation: 1917 anti-war book, still pretty good

You'd like All Quiet on the Western Front. Its a rare book that I could just sit and actually read instead of looking at the clock going damn this is taking forever :)

And if that is Where's Waldo that we're thinking of then I'm definitely surprised. :lol:

Probably gives kids self-esteem issues when they can't find him...

I liked the Adventures of Huck Finn. That was a good book. I also like sports and war books. No need to remention my love of sex books...

And if that is Where's Waldo that we're thinking of then I'm definitely surprised. :lol:

I always had trouble finding him on the last page where all the waldos were and you had to find the one with the missing shoe or something.

LMAO, definately glad I passed over reading that too.

 

If the anarchist cook book is what I am thinking of, then the only thing I took away from it, was filling a tennis ball with match-ends and throwing it. I haven't tried it but it sounds intriguing.
