[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8746922, member: 3400"] My mother used to be on the local public library board when I was a kid and she detested attempts to ban books. When other communities around us did so, she'd rush right out and read the book or suggest I do so. At the time, [B]The Magician[/B] by Sol Stein was one of the targets, so I read it. It's important to note that what gets challenged shifts around over time. There are some classics like Huck Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird that come up again and again. But there are also-banned titles different every year. But you can generally bet that most of them will involve characters who aren't cisgendered, heterosexual, white, chaste, temperate, christian, and/or extremely mild-mannered. Basically, anything with a different and maybe strongly worded take on things in the contemporary zeitgeist is probably up to be challenged at some point - no matter how morally powerful and forthright that book is.
