Here is where you can find a list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books, courtesy of the ALA; http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/bbweeklinks/100mostfrequently.htm

and here is a pretty thorough list of what IS actually banned.

You didn’t find any banned books because the ALA and ACLU have lots of mean lawyers who do their job well. And I haven’t read any of the challeneged books for 2005 either. Fan of th eclassics, though. Fahrenheight 451 is the book that made me want to write stories.

I couldn’t find a list of banned books at all (as I suspected I wouldn’t).

I must be really behind in my reading. I didn’t read any of the challenged books or authors listed for 2005.
