Saw this meme at Phantom Scribbler <\/a>and had to join in. This is the list of the 100 most banned and challenged books<\/a> for the period 1990 through 2000. Copy and paste into your own blog, and bold<\/strong> the ones you have read.<\/p>\n

How sad it is that these books are among the ones that have had the most powerful influence on me? Sad for the people who want to restrict or ban these books, and sad for the kids who might never get the chance to read them. Not only have I read 25 out of the 100 on this list, but more than half the ones I’ve read I’ve reread more than once.
