I've read most of them. Alot of them I read in school (which was over 10 yrs. ago). Weird I wonder under what grounds are they being banned.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was banned at my school because of one particular word in it while my class was in the middle of reading it. This suprises me because several others on this list are required reading in my school as well and have way worse content than Tom Sawyer does!
