1. If you have any faint idea about what Banned Books Week is then I would like to congratulate you for
being one of the literate, book-reading children of America. If you don’t then this is the perfect
opportunity to sell used iPhone, grab an iPad and start getting to know what bookworms do from
September 30 to October 6.

About 30 years ago, several book-loving organizations of America (including ALA and ABFFE) and library
activist Judith Krug founded the Banned Books Week campaign. The campaign aims to spread awareness
on banned books and promote intellectual freedom for all bookworms in the world. It’s also observed
internationally to promote human rights for people who are persecuted because of the books they
write, read or produce. Now, what exactly are the books people should read to celebrate Banned Books
Week?
The name says it all. Banned Books Week is all about supporting, reading and examining books that have
been banned in some countries or over a period of time or have been challenged by literary
demagogues. If you want to be a part of the Banned Books Week campaign, sell used iPhone and get
your iPad or iPhone 5 ready for these three iBooks.

2. Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
I know what you’re thinking. Why would the book that inspired a Disney movie be a banned book?! That
just doesn’t make sense! It’s been listed on the American Library Association’s 100 Most Frequently
Challenged Books of 1990 to 2000 because its plot centers on death despite the fact that it caters to
children. It also uses offensive words and is said to bring confusion by combing fantasy and reality. Some
book critics also said that the novel promotes secular humanism, occultism and Satanism. Still, it is
widely studied in schools in America so you’ll still probably sell used iPhone for an iPad which your kid
could use at school.
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
If this isn’t a classic ‘banned book’ example then I don’t know what is. The Lord of the Flies is that one
book in English class you’ll always remember because of two things: The protagonists are little children
and the plot is very disturbing. It’s definitely the kind of book that would make weak audiences want to
sell iPhones out of shock. It’s not surprising that it has been listed as 100 Most Frequently Challenged
Books from 1990-1999. The book clearly depicts violence, profanity, racial slurs and sexuality.
Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
It’s one of the books you probably grew up with and so will your kid if you fell in love with it like millions
of bibliophiles around the world. But while most normal readers loved the story of the boy who lived,
the series met a large number of criticisms. The book was challenged by numerous American Christian
groups for promoting witchcraft to children. Some also said the book promotes social inequality and
produced mass hysteria among young ones. But we all loved the Potter series; it’s probably even a part
of every nerd’s childhood. So go ahead, sell used iPhone and get the whole iBooks set and start the
magic!
