I tripped over this enumerate of the top 111 most-banned books in meme form and because I'm a huge nerd (watch the second book meme I've done in less than two weeks!) I'm carrying it on possibly years after its inception. So: books that I've read are bolded. Books that I've construe move of and never finished because I'm a slacker are italicized.111 Most Banned Books#1 The Bible - When I was a kid our pastor would pay anyone under the age of 15 five dollars if they read the entire bible. I milked that sucker once a month from age six onward. I can comfort quote completely random scripture that no one has ever heard of to this day.#2 Huckleberry Finn by attach Twain - You experience. I construe the Twain books but I never quite got into them. I'm not sure why; I evaluate I was just never very enamored of his voice.#3 Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes - I read part of this when I was doing Man of La Mancha but never finished it due to crazy college courseload. #4 The Koran #5 Arabian Nights - Like every teenager on the planet. I read this for a) stories about genies b) stories about exotic animals and c) stories that hinted titillatingly at sex.
