"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Removing the N Word from Huck Finn: Top 10 Censored Books
As publishers print a new version of Mark Twain's classic 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' without racial slurs, TIME takes a look at other books that have been bowdlerized

10. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
9. Lolita
8. The Catcher in the Rye
7. Harry Potter Series
6. The Anarchist Cookbook
5.
4. Candide
3. 1984
2. The Satanic Verses
1. Brave New World
I've read #s 10, all of 7, and 5, though I know I should've read all of the others by now. I like what it says about each time period, or subject matter, of what was "forbidden" or "unacceptable".
I'm curious: Are there any you've read that you were told not to by parents, teachers, clergy, etc?
