In honor of Banned Books Week, this post will be a listing of all the banned books you should read.
By censoring books, we tell our children that it's wrong to think differently, to dream, to question, to disagree, to challenge a way of life or an idea. I've already written my thoughts on censorship and book banning here, so I won't repeat myself. Happy reading!
