For a list of the most recent banned/challenged books, click here.  (Harry Potter?! Even The Handmaid's Tale made the list.  It's interesting that quite a few of them are on our upcoming to-read list!) The Canadian equivalent of Banned Books Week is Freedom to Read Week, which was held February 20-26, 2011.

Which of these books have you read?
