Banned books week

This week is banned book week.  Is anyone reading a banned book to support the right to choose what we read?  A few books on the list are The Hunger Games, Charlotte's Web, Gone with the Wind, Perks of Being a Wallflower, and 451 Degrees.

Being the rebels that we are, we are reading The Giver by Lois Lowry.

*Summary- Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.

To read more about banned books, I included a few links below.
