The Forbidden Library

The Forbidden Library lists books which have either been banned or burned somewhere in the the world at some point, or which people have tried to have banned or burned. The list includes Jack London's The Call of the Wild which apparently was banned in Italy and Yugoslavia in 1929 and burned by the Nazis in 1932, if you can imagine.

Thanks for the link, mackjohnny.

I wrote an article for a page like this a long time ago on To Kill a Mockingbird being banned and still get questions about it.
