Lynne's Banned Books

It's amazing how many books that I read growing up are on this list! Among my favorites would be "Of Mice and Men" by Steinbeck, "The Outsiders" by Hinton and as of recent, "The Hunger Games".  I remember pulling "Of Mice and Men" off my grandmother's old bookshelf numerous times to read over and over again!  "To Kill a Mockingbrd", The Diary of Anne Frank" and "A Wrinkle in Time" were also memorable choices of mine.  Some of these books do bring up some serious subjects. There will always be subject matter that does not sit well with others, but it's fortunate that we are given the choice to read what we choose.  Many a great book has opened up dialogues about subjects that would not neccesarily have occurred.  So pick up a great book and start reading!
