Why the hell is Bone on the most banned list though? Well, I agree with banning Dark Knight Strikes Again, simply because it’s terrible.

The titles that Jason Ragle has listed have most likely not been challenged, or the challenges were handled locally and never reported to ALA or to the media. Based on my experiences over the past 27 years in libraries, and based on the challenges that have made national news over the past few years, these challenges happen most often when adults find their children and teens reading books they (the adults) don't think they should, and therefore, by golly, those books shouldn't be in the library. If kids aren't checking out books and letting their parents find them, the books won't get challenged. The ALA list is based on actual challenges in libraries.

I recommend them all, except for DARK KNIGHT STRIKES BACK. How can they leave out PREACHER, TRANSMETROPOLITAN, LOST GIRLS, Y THE LAST MAN, etc?
