I don't think I've done this meme before, though I've seen it go around the web a lot. The following is a list of books that have been challenged or sucessfully banned from schools or public libraries. This list actually isn't complete. (Doesn't include books like Bridge To terabithis or The yearling or Harry Potter.) But it's long enough. :-( You can find out more from the American Library Association about or Banned-Books.com. And UPenn explains those that are listed here.

Those in bold are the ones I've either read or own.
