Banned Books!
The title links to the 100 most frequently challenged books of 1990-2000, according to the American Library Association. How many have you read?
I'm fairly disappointed in myself. I've only read 15% of the list, and most of it during childhood. I must give props to my parents for actually encouraging me to read some of them!

I've read 26 on the list, but thats technically more if you count all of the Harry Potter books.
Nice new layout

I haven't even heard of half of those. Why "A light in the Attic?" I'll have to be doubly sure to get copies of those for my kids to corrupt 'em.
