WHAT?! Whoa! I read a lot of those in high school! The Color Purple was a good book. I read Lord Of The Flies, To Kill A Mocking Bird (AMAZING)... I could seriously go on and on LoL.

I really hated Lord of the Flies...what a twisted and demented book. I dont think it should be banned, but I personally dont find it appropriate for middle school, maybe high school? Charlotte's Web and Winnie the Pooh were challenged....are you kidding me!?
