Here is a list of the top 110 banned books. The idea is to bold the ones you haven't read, italicize the ones you’ve read  or read part of and underline the ones you specifically want to read (at least some of). (I’ve also underlined ones I intend to finish reading, or re-read . . . someday.) *I do not feel well read.
