I think it's interesting that many of the books on list that are frequently banned are also frequently chosen as assignments for high school English classes - we read Of Mice and Men for instance.<br /><br />Yes, you must read #4 - 8 - they are all great! Flowers for Algernon is one of my all-time favorites. I read it twice when I was a teen and re-read it a few years ago - even knowing how it ends, it still affected me deeply and brought tears to my eyes - so well-written. <br /><br />I totally agree with you on True Diary of a Part-time Indian - excellent book and so enlightening!<br /><br />And I also agree about Huck Finn on audio - there are many good versions out, including some with a full cast - one of our family's favorites.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-686835833240531322010-09-20T14:58:46.547-07:002010-09-20T14:58:46.547-07:00Harry Potter is on that list?!?!
