I've only read six. For shame.

The high school I went to was big on carrying every banned book in the library but I only made it part way through the 10th grade. A lot of those books on the list are required school reading. If not high school, at least college. I think last year was the first time I have even heard of The Jungle and the Communist Manifesto, or whatever it's called.

I'm a sophomore in college and I'm waaaaaay behind on my reading.
