Throughout the history of the world, starting with the church, censors have been put on many different things. The church was able to create a list of banned works, and many of the books were burned. The first list of banned books came from Pope Paul IV who established The Index of Prohibited Books to protect Catholics from controversial ideas. However, authors found ways to get around these censors. Many just published in a nearby country.

Whether it is for political reasons, religious reasons, or some other reason, books, to this day, continue to be banned, extremely looked down upon, or challenged harshly. As for me, I believe it’s completely ludicrous. Who says anyone has to right to ban someone else’s hard work and ideas? In any case, here are the top ten banned and rejected books ... check it out HERE and tell me if I had missed out something from the list..

kvn-nass, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement - your title does not accurately reflect the story you have published, as you have neglected to include any books within your post.

If you'd like to include at least a sampling of what books are on the list, or amend your headline, I'd be happy to remove this flag.
