Hi!
I figure that's another part of what these lists are for, to get and give
book recommendations. I'm not exactly sure what you're tlaking about, but I
do know The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck was banned all over the place
at one time because it was supposedly too controversial. That's on
bookshare.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] banned books on bookshare
Hi, all you story-tellers. as a relatively new kid on the visually impaired
block, I get a kick out of the discussions. and love the dectalk
entertainment.
My local AAUW book club is doing banned books in september. I found a list
of
ALA "most challenged" books but I'm not sure these qualified as "banned".
where can I find a good list of books that were banned bit time,and a good
story behind the banning?
I feel like I'm asking the list to do my home work, guess that's what is
happening. I'll be glad to assemble a web page of banned books and their
stories, if not already available.
I'm a novice scanner, was thrilled to have my 3rd book accepted recently.
You
beterans inspire me.
