Over in the States it's Banned Books Week. I am completely anti-censorship. I think that books should be accessible to anyone. I was lucky, my parents never policed my reading, and I went to a fairly liberal church school, where nothing was banned. Here are a few other bloggers and interesting links about this.
I had no idea Francesca Lia Block's books were ever banned
The Story Siren has an interesting article on the subject
Author Tamora Pierce also provides her opinion on the list
The Guardian has a list of the top 10 banned books (and there are a few surprises, certainly for me)
So what have you read from any of these lists of banned books?
