The Banned Books Meme

Taken from Grumpy Teacher, who got it from Julie Carter, who got it from Scavella, who probably got it from someone else.

Look through this list of banned books.  If you have read the whole book, bold it.  If you have read a part of the book, italicize it.  If you own it but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet, *** it.

Obviously, the purpose of this is less for me to show what I have read, and more to show what I have yet to read.  Many of these books are familiar to me, even if only vaguely.  Perhaps some of these will make their way onto my Reading Log over Christmas Break.

Anyhow, I just finished my History final and turned in my history paper with it.  Only two items left before the semester is over!
