DeleteMemoirs of Hecate County - Banned for sexual explicitness,memorable for its evocation of 1930's New York City, as well as its humor and satire.
ReplyDeleteParadise Lost. Ummm, I did it :) It was not an easy task, lol!
ReplyDeleteFinished Les Liasons Dangereuses. Very interesting read with mixed feelings about it.
ReplyDeleteJust added The metamorphosis by Frank Kafka.
ReplyDeleteI'm leading a group of homeschooled middle schoolers in a monthly book discussion. In October, we read and studied The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It was great!
ReplyDeleteI read my children The Wizard of Oz. I had no idea there was so much controversy surrounding it!
ReplyDeleteI had not expected James Baldwin's "Go Tell It On the Mountain" to be such a beautifully rich and colorful work of literature. The scenes in the charismatic church jump of the page and the complexity of the characters is believable. I was shocked to see that the attempts to ban it from schools came over 30 years after it was published.
