The thing I don't get is that a lot of those books really aren't that offensive, or at least they weren't offensive enough to be banned by my school system. 1984 and To Kill a Mockingbird were both part of my high school curriculum, as were Flowers for Algernon and text from Anne Frank's diary, among others.

And why is Arabian Nights underlined?

Whoops, that's supposed to be italics.

And yeah, some of these are real head-scratchers.

Wow. For a list of the most-banned books, I'm amazed at how many of these were required reading (and how many more were available for extra credit) at Columbia City high School. Chalk one up for the old alma mater.

A lot of them were required reading at my high school, too. In most high schools, probably, nowadays. I think their "most banned" status stems mostly from earlier in the twentieth century. In more recent decades, a lot of the formerly banned books have become common parts of standard curricula.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. These days it's The Chronicles of Narnia and anything by Hunter S. Thompson.
