Inevitably I’m late to this, but here [via Slashdot] is the list of books Americans most often want to ban from their libraries. Nice to see Huck Finn still hanging in there in the nineties.

Huck Finn manages to stay up there for the frequent use of the word nigger. It probably has something to do with one of the main characters’ names….
Some of the rest are pretty obvious, but there were quite a few I was dissapointed to see: A Catcher in the Rye, Brave New World, Lordf of the Flies, A Wrinkle in Time, Flowers for Algernon…. Oh well, as I’m starting to discover getting into the landlord business, people will always find something to bitch about.
