The last week in September is Banned Books Week, which the American Library Association refers to as a celebration of the freedom to read.

Some links to consider:

• List of the top 100 Banned and Challenged Classics (more info about why 46 of those books were challenged)
• 100 most frequently challenged books: 1990–1999
• Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books: 2000-2009

Are you doing anything to mark Banned Books Week? What are your favorite banned or challenged books? (N-H staffers will be weighing in Friday.)
