This list of 50 Banned Books That “Everyone Should Read” contains a number of works that I’ve read as part of studying English in an Australian high school, a few more that I’ve read out of interest, and some I’ve avoided. Are there any gems there I should make time for?
I was surprised at how many of these I have actually read. I’m not sure what that says about me though: do I have good taste or do I just read things that are considered controversial? does it count that I read them before I was told they should be banned?
