Have you ever read a book that was 'banned'?

And did it make the experience much more enjoyable?

Read catcher in the rye in highschool, that book was banned various times

The people who banned it are idiots and no, I couldn't get into the book. It was a chore to read

@deadgerbil One way to discourage kids from reading is to have books that they must read. ;)

@Thodsis I've always been more into history and nonfiction, not whatever that book is lol

@deadgerbil Do you have any recommendations? I've been preferring non-fiction for a while.

@deadgerbil I'll give it a try. The Wiki of it sounds weirdly fun.

I'll recommend Hell's Angels by Hunter S.Thompson to you.

I first read it aged thirteen because my dad had a great shelf of books.

I read it again recently. It's very good but is of it's time.
