Yep, I was forced to read these books as a kid also. Must be a rite of passage. A few I read on my own, but many of these were assigned reading. Check out this list from Time Magazine online to see if you had to read them too! And more importantly, will you make sure your kids read them too?!!

Top 10: Challenged or Banned Books
The American Library Association (ALA) has issued their annual list of the 10 most frequently challenged books from US libraries.

Really?)
