have been banned from school libraries, among others. What's so strange about that is that they were all required reading for me in various grades throughout school except Brave New World, which I checked out from the school library and read on my own. What do they require kids to read these days?

I really enjoyed Nathaniel Hawthorne's short stories.
Yup. There's a poster in our school's library that lists all the banned books. Surprisingly, our school allows us to read them although I've never questioned why. On that list, I've read Of Mice and Men and To Kill a Mockingbird in school, and The Adventurers of Huckleberry Finn by myself. Surprisingly, I like those 3 a lot. I think I've read The Outsiders, but if that's the book I'm thinking of, then I really disliked it.
