Book Sanctuary - Toronto Public Library

 I came across a list from the Toronto Public Library of many books that are or have been banned.

I wonder if it would be interesting to discuss this? Are there any books that we, as relatively enlightened people, would consider banning? How many complaints does it take for banning to occur?


Notably, Margaret Atwood has published an unburnable version of the Handmaid's Tale!

  1. I find the reasons for banning some of these books intriguing.
