The Most Banned Books In The U.S.

Banning a book means making it less accessible by removing it from public libraries or dropping it from a public school curriculum. Here are some of the most commonly restricted titles in American literature:

The Catcher In The Rye: Bans of this novel have successfully kept teenagers from misbehaving for almost 75 years.

Captain Underpants: Deemed treasonous when first published, the true rationale of the Vietnam War is unsparingly laid out in this memoir by Air Force whistleblower Captain Thomas J. Underpants.

Brave New World: Bans on Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel set in an authoritarian near-future proliferated when George Orwell’s 1984, a later dystopian novel set in an authoritarian near-future, was found to be much more straightforward and digestible.

Heather Has Two Mommies: Bans only boosted interest in this children’s book featuring lesbian parents; emboldened by the support, the publisher raised the number of mommies in subsequent editions to three, then 17, then 48. 

As I Lay Dying: This Faulkner volume is often banned because it deals with themes of death, something its title fails to warn readers about

Where’s Waldo?: Originally depicted shirtless, Waldo was given his iconic red-and-white striped shirt to appease censors who took issue with the fugitive’s tattoos chronicling his murders for the Russian mob.
