[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 8745867, member: 7028579"] When I was I HS (90s) I often did my homework in the public library with some friends cause other kids (ie girls at other HS in town) did the same. And since I have no ability to focus on things for very long I’d often just wander around the library (again, kinda hoping to find an excuse to stumble into a girl looking for the same thing I wasn’t actually looking for) and one day I found a book that was a history of book banning up to about 1992. And it wasn’t that interesting, mostly classics, the top three BY FAR were Go Ask Alice, Catcher In The Rye and Huck Finn. my time was before all the fuss about queer stuff, mostly because there wan’t that much queer stuff in the library, maybe Giovanni’s Room, which was probably on the list but way down cause homosexuality wasn’t out enough then to hate on. I feel like Go Ask Alice is a fun forgotten banned book to check out. I can’t believe anyone cares about it anymore. It’s a book about a teenage girl in the early 70s? that does drugs and has sex with boys and I don’t recall it exactly working out so well for her, I think it’s a pretty terrible book, but that it addressed the subject matter of sex and drugs to a teenage audience is why the book was persecuted.
