Eruwen- wow. Why is your school that strict? Is it a religious school or something? I go to a slightly religious school and no books have been banned here, but I know that often Catholic schools are often very strict and since I’m not Catholic or even Christian I can’t really say that on any authority [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] , only on rumour. (Also- other than Huckleberry Finn, I think one of the most banned books in the USA was The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, because of all of the swearing and mentioning of subjects which are, errm, inappropriate for daily conversation, I should think, but my teacher saw me reading that and didn’t bat an eye, just mentioned it being a good book [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] .)
