banned or challenged

My neighborhood bookstore has covered an entire storefront window with these printouts of banned or challenged books. I'm shocked and saddened at the books that people want to ban others from reading. To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Origin of Species, Naked Lunch, The Handmaid's Tale, Native Son, The House of the Spirits, The Color Purple, Lord of the Flies, James and the Giant Peach, A Wrinkle in Time, A Light in the Attic, A Clockwork Orange, the whole Harry Potter series, I Know why the Caged Bird Sings, Brave New World, Bridge to Terabithia, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, The Bell Jar, The Bluest Eye, The Catcher in the Rye. I can't imagine a world without books that make you think.
