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.

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
