Goodreads Best Banned, Censored, and Challenged Books - Page 8

"This is a list of books that have at one point either been banned, censored, or requested for removal from libraries" (Goodreads)
The first 240 books are an exact replica of the Goodreads list; the remainder are 'highlights' chosen by me (usually 1000+ ratings, at least 2 votes - and not just to enhance my score.)
I have chosen a wide variety of covers in an attempt to capture the discombobulating variety of the books that made it onto the list.
