Some of these are obvious (Stalin banning 1984) and others are just ... odd. People get their panties in a twist over the strangest things.

Happy Banned Books Week! This year's theme focuses on graphic novels. Some of the best graphic novels have been challenged and/or banned: Persepolis, Watchmen, Fun Home, Batman: The Killing Joke, Blankets, Maus, Sandman, and more.
It's Banned Books Week.
Reading changes you. It makes you more of what's best in humanity and it gives you better ideas and understandings than any other activity, bar none.
Don't let someone's outmoded or wrongheaded or simply stupid fear of knowledge and wisdom and empathy flowing from books shut off access to views they don't like. Remember that when you choose silence in the face of censorship, you set the stage for your own views to be silenced.
