One of the beautiful things about the freedom of the press and speech is that there are always works that are not for everyone, and will be questioned from time to time (or year after year). books are no exception and today’s graphic shows the most challenged and banned books in the past 5 years and of all time. While these are all freely printed and able to be read, a ban means that an organization, or several, somewhere have deemed it inappropriate for their patrons and will not carry, stock, or teach that work. Consider this a good “to read” list if you like seeing what all the fuss is about. [VIA]
