List of the top 110 banned books (of all time). Bold the ones you’ve read. Italicize the ones you’ve read part of. Underline the ones you specifically want to read (at least some of). Read more. Convince others to read some. And I'm adding this, strike out the ones you totally don't want to read.

Where exactly are these books "banned"?

Is the world not ready for an 8 year old girl's journey in a covered wagon?

It's not that they're banned. It's that they're the books that are requested to be removed from school and public libraries the most. I saw the list first in government class and that's the way it was explained to us.
