I'm starting to think that I'm as addicted to joining challenges as I am to reading. :) I can't help but laugh at myself for joining ANOTHER challenge! (not to mention that I recently joined two yahoo groups that are hosting challenges that I am involved in. But how can I resist this one?? I LOVE the idea of reading banned books...plus I've already got some of these books chosen for other challenges. Here is what I have chosen to read:
- Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China by Jung Chang
- Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
- Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
- Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
- The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman
- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
- Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes
- East of Eden by John Steinbeck
- Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky
- The Color Purple by Alice Walker
I had no idea that some of these books were banned! And I'm a religious, prudish sort!
ReplyDeleteI picked my books from the banned book list...I didn't know about some of these either!
ReplyDeleteDo you know why Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China is banned? I read this one last year and enjoyed it. I can't recall to many of the details though.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't to be honest :) The blog that is hosting this challenge had a list of banned books and this is where I picked them from...
