I understand where you are coming from in the appropriateness in me reading it, but that is actually why are reading some of these books (with parent permission). We are doing a unit where we read and talk about books that have been banned or were challenged at one time in history and even sometimes today. We are talking about censorship and what, and how, we believe it should be used, if ever. Here is a list of the books I get to choose from..

1. Beloved, Toni Morrison
2. Black Like Me, John Howard Griffin
3. Catch-22, Joseph Heller
4.The Chocolate War, Robert Cormier
5. Clan of the Cave Bear, Jean Auel
6.The Color Purple, Alice Walker
7. A farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway
8.Flowers for Algernon, Daniel Keyes
9.The Giver, Lois Lowry
10. Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell
11.The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
12. The Handmaids Tale, Margaret Atwood
13.I know why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou
14. In Cold Blood, Truman Capote
15. Native Son, Richard Wright
16.One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Ken Kesey
17.The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne
18. Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut
19.Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe
