It's kinda funny when you think about it. These books that were heavily challenged or banned for their "questionable" content and ideas are highly valued today and taught in most American schools without hesitation. Books like these always find their way onto a reader's "top read list". I'm no exception because The Catcher in the Rye is my second favorite book of all time (Watership Down is my first). Simply having a history of being controversial makes it appealing to many people. In no way, shape, or form do I support censorship, but having some books banned wasn't really a bad thing because it brought them to our attention, marking their place in history.
