This is the week to appreciate your rights to read books that are contraversial, according the American Library Association. Read all about it…

There is even a list of the last decades 100 most contraversial books here:

Some of the obvious ones would be Brave New World, and Catcher in the Rye, (1984 was not on the list), but Where’s Waldo?? And a Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein is contraversial??

What do you guys think about this list?? Is it incomplete, or over the line??
