In honor of Banned Books week (okay, so I'm a little early; it's September 29–October 6), I pick up from Mabi, who picked up from Nialla, the list of the hundred most challenged books from the 1990s. I've used boldface for the ones I've read. I've used italics for a few where I'm adding comments.
Just a note: "challenged" does not mean "banned". One lunatic can challenge a book. It usually takes more than one to ban it. So the outlook is not as bleak as it might appear; many of these books have rarely been banned because cooler heads have prevailed. Challenges usually fail when those of us who are open-minded pay attention--and get involved where necessary.
( List below the cut )
