My favorite is the Tim Burton book peeking out of the shelf.
The American Library Association just released its list of the most frequently challenged books in American libraries. (“Challenges” are defined as attempts to remove a book from the selves or restrict access to it.) The ALA received reports of 460 challenges in 2009 but estimates the actual number was about four times that high. Mormon Stephenie Meyer would be horrified to learn that her Twilight series came in at No. 5, both for being “sexually explicit” and for offering a “religious viewpoint.” Even more dangerous than Edward Cullen is Boo Radley, whose star turn in Harper Lee’s classic placed To Kill a Mockingbird at No. 4 on the list.

To Kill a Mockingbird an objectionable book? What the HELL is wrong with some people.
