Overview

Books should never be banned, yet here we are.
To complete this, read those banned books! Libraries and the internet can sometimes be your best and only source, but find a copy.
They can be banned from any country, for any reason. Fiction and nonfiction both count.
Bonus points if it is banned from multiple countries for different reasons. (1984 by George Orwell is an example).
