Banned Books Challenge

For this challenge, all banned and challenged books you've ever read count. The point of it is to read 50 of them, not necessarily 50 new ones. But, of course, if you'd like to choose 50 new ones, then that is wonderful. This is a perpetual challenge and has no end date. If you'd like to join me in this particular challenge, just leave a comment saying you'd like to participate and then a link to where you will show your progress on the challenge. Book reviews are not required, but, of course, accepted. A few short lines on what the book was about and whether you found it worthy of reading in and of itself (as oppose to the singular fact it may be worthy of reading just because it is banned).

This challenge is put on by Lost in Books.  Head over there for more info and book suggestions!

I will also keep track of my read on this shelf on Goodreads, and also try to write a few reviews, if I can remember all of these books!  I can't believe how many I've already read that are considered banned!  Crazy! Long Live Free Speech!
