The American Library Association has set asside this week, Sept 26 thru Oct 3rd, 2009 as Banned Books Week. Their site has a listing of some notable books which have been banned. It indicates who banned it and why. They hold the annual event to celebrate "the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment." Something we should all be aware of.
Regardless of whether you have read any of the book on this list, it should be noted that reading is probably the single most important thing you should learn. Read. Read a lot. And enjoy the freedom you have to do so.
