I read what I like -- don't care if they have been banned or not. I don't understand your phrase 'were once banned'. Books are still being banned by the religious and prejudiced.

I've never purposely sought out banned books but when I've discovered a book I read or was reading was banned, I've always wondered what the hell for.

I used to care.

I have read quite a few. There are a couple I have no desire to read.

Interesting topic. Where can i find a list of books that have been banned? Particularly, ones that affront religion..

I was surprised to read that "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" had been banned. First it was bannedf by racists, then later it was banned by peopel who said the book itself was racist.

An interesting story about "The Moon Is Down" by John Steinbeck. It was written as a propaganda book against Hitler during World War II. It was passed and distributed through the Alliance underground efforts. Although written rapidly and for propagand purposes, it is still pretty well done.

"The Scarlet Letter", was a really well todl story. It is aobut an adultress who has to wear a scarlet letter A as penance for havign committed adutlery. I found the endign to be most appropriate, but I don't want to give ti away.

Someone said eons ago to students “if a book has been banned then that is exactly the book you should read”

My paraphrase, probably said a lot more eloquently!

Not only read them, but for a while I collected and distributed ebook copies of them. Still have the collection....
