Reply #98: Isn't it interesting how many of the books in this thread are sometimes banned? [View All]

You're recommendation of The Giver is spot on, but
it caused me to notice just how many of the books being
recommended in this thread are frequently banned or are
"controversial" books in libraries and school districts.

It would be interesting to take a list of "Right wing
books" and see, by comparison, how many of *THOSE* are
the subject of attempts to ban them.

I'd guess the answer to that second half of the question
would hinge on whether or not the Right Wingers would accept
Mein Kampf as part of their corpus (putting aside
the technicality that it's not really fiction).
