1549 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Top 100 banned books I have read several of these in school, and I think schools shouldn't ban books, in fact the more controversial a book is, the more inciteful it usually is, so I don't think books should be banned, but all should be read at schools.

Steff Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 The Joy of Sex is banned..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 How the f*** can they ban Wheres Waldo? What is so immoral about that series? I liked those. And dont ban books about sex. No matter what you think, sex is one of the fundamental functions of the human race, and for that matter, all races and species... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that in 7th grade English, perhaps we were too young to see some of the underlying meanings but everybody liked it, I won't give away the ending for you but it is a great book. the movie is also good IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 For the most part, I hate stupid ass books we have to read in school. Read I Am The Cheese in ninth grade and it sucked.

Other books on their that I've read: Of Mice and Men James and the Giant Peach (What the hell?) Adventures of Huck Finn (one of my favorite reads) The Giver (Don't remember much of it; probably one I went with the cliffnote version ) Goosebumps (read like one of them..never liked them but I know they were popular) To Kill A Mocking Bird (Good book) Brave New World (Awesome....much like one of my favorite movies...Gattaca) The Anarchist Cookbook (Learned a few tricks from that ) Wheres Waldo (HUH) One I never read and thank goodness for it: What’s Happening to my Body? Book for Boys: A Growing-Up Guide for Parents & Sons by Lynda Madaras Thats just what I would of wanted...I'd of felt like Jim in American pie.

I always had trouble finding him on the last page where all the waldos were and you had to find the one with the missing shoe or something.

If the anarchist cook book is what I am thinking of, then the only thing I took away from it, was filling a tennis ball with match-ends and throwing it. I haven't tried it but it sounds intriguing.
