Banned Book Club
Welcome to Banned Book Club where we believe that the most controversial books are often the best books. Join us as we dive into literature that has been good enough to raise the ire of governments, school-boards, and concerned parents all over the world. We hope that by the end of each episode you will agree with us on this point, if a book is banned its worth reading.
