Banned Book Week Giveaway Hop
Welcome to the Banned Book Week Giveaway hosted by BookHounds! I'm giving away one $15 gift card to one winner. More information about banned books week can be found on bannedbooksweek.org and a list of banned books is on the American Library Association's website. Most of the banned books I've read are classics, but there are quite a few more contemporary books I haven't gotten to yet. Some I just can't imagine why they are/were banned. Which books on the list have you read? Which ones would you recommend?

ReplyDeletePart-time Indian's on my TBR list. :)
DeleteI've read Gone With the Wind, The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know any of them had been banned. Times change, right?
DeleteI've read The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger,
ReplyDeleteThe Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Animal Farm, by George Orwell, Gone with the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell, For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway, The Call of the Wild, by Jack London.
Those are most of the ones I've read, too (except Gone With the Wind). I need to read more of the contemporary ones. :)
DeleteI've read To Kill a Mocking Bird, Harry Potter, For Whom The Bell Tolls , Grapes of Wrath and more. I don't understand why many of these books were banned though. I definitely suggest To Kill A Mocking Bird.

I don't understand either. Some of the more recent ones I know have been banned because of language, but Harry Potter? I read To Kill A Mockingbird when I was young, but I should re-read it. :)
