  10. Mark Twain’s “Letters From the Earth”. It was banned for years after it was written, and is hard to find now. Brilliant political/social satire.

  13. I guess when I was in school and I think they were mandatory then. Something like To Kill A Mockingbird probably.

  26. A lot of times I read a book I didn’t even realized was “banned” Last one was probably To Kill a Mockingbird.

  32. I didn’t look through the whole list but I stopped when I saw Brave New World because I remember reading that in college. It was required in a college English class and I liked it. Not sure we were told it was a banned book or if it was a banned book at the time.

  38. The Handmaid’s Tale; Brave New World; Harry Potter – I’m not sure which one I read last.

  46. The Harry Potter collection is a shocking addition to the list that I have read the latest. I enjoyed it very well.
