Fight the Man! The 100 Most Challenged Books

I am continuing off a post from PoliBlog and Irrational Woman in regards to a list containing the 100 most frequently challenged books. I would also like to add an honorable mention: The Wind Done Gone by Alice Randall, the Gone with the Wind parody that sent the Daughters of Confederacy into a tizzy. I understand that it was banned in Georgia. These are my contributions to fighting the Man:

1. Scary Stories (Series) by Alvin Schwartz
2. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
3. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
4. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
5. Harry Potter (Series) by J.K. Rowling
6. The Color Purple by Alice Walker
7. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
8. Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
9. A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein
10. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
11. James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl
12. Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
13. Lord of the Flies by William Golding
14. Carrie by Stephen King
15. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
