banned books [via the 5hmoo]

Bold if you've read it and Italicize if you've read part/exerpts.

It's interesting how many of these are books that I was required to read in school. They were on this list even then.

Everyone wants to write a banned book, but the answer is so simple. One just needs to take a couple titles of the above list, write a book that meshes all their elements together, and then you'll have a book that's six to seven times more likely to get banned than any other book on the market.
Examples:
What's Happening to My Giant Peach? A Growing up Guide for the Cherry Tree

I Know Why My Brother Sam is Dead

To Kill Ordinary People for Algernon (sequel to above)

It's Perfectly Normal, American Psycho (to complete the trilogy)

Heather Has Spit in Your Hat

You know, Erin said she doesn't know what to write for NaNoWriMo - you should send her these as suggestions. :)
