I read The Handmaid's Tale ...What a great list! I read The Handmaid's Tale the summer I graduated from college -- it is excellent. And my son loves Diary of a Wimpy Kid. (I had no idea it had been banned or challenged. Seems pretty innocuous to me. Huh.)<br /><br />Thanks for sponsoring this challenge. I'm looking forward to it.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06932060902413958983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-24800848130966978222010-09-02T21:37:28.749-04:002010-09-02T21:37:28.749-04:00I just read Al Capone Does My Shirts- it's exc...I just read Al Capone Does My Shirts- it's excellent. definitely unique- give it a shot!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384554351353947602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-58818292063097595222010-09-02T15:25:39.464-04:002010-09-02T15:25:39.464-04:00I've only read two of those.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is heartbreaking and hilarious. Lolita had the most beautiful language and Humbert Humbert is a potent combination of charm and charisma.<br /><br />You are going to have a wonderful ride. :Dsquintohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393098107266962992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-14989478656176343942010-09-01T13:57:33.121-04:002010-09-01T13:57:33.121-04:00Lolita's a great one!Lolita's a great one!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-47552956024090423642010-09-01T13:15:10.562-04:002010-09-01T13:15:10.562-04:00I'm looking at that and i'm trying to figu...I'm looking at that and i'm trying to figure out why some of those books are banned.Sissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510427989803193826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-53975288094489211722010-09-01T12:54:25.021-04:002010-09-01T12:54:25.021-04:00The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-Time Indian is...<i>The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-Time Indian</i> is my all-time favorite book!
