HealthyLiving: Some of the books were added to the list, I am sure, just as the Potter books were added to make it believable, since Palin is a Christian.
I do recall king being on a number of Christian hit lists , that’s why it would no surprise me if it came from some obscure little religious group some where
crotalus_p: It would be interesting to see where the list came from it is possible that it originated at a later date from her or one of the Christian croups she is linked to
I think you'll find there are banned books in every library. I don' t see it as a world changing event.
crotalus_p: Who said anything about world changing ?? It schould however be enraging to any one in their right mind
Going back a few posts... would you have "Little black Sambo" on your reading list in a Library? I don't think there's a library in the country that would allow it.

Depends whether it is any good. Some of these classic non-PC books keep their value.....others are forgotten because they are crap.

There’s actually 812 different versions of the book on Amazon
Product Description The jolly and exciting tale of the little boy who lost his red coat and his blue trousers and his purple shoes but who was saved from the tigers to eat 169 pancakes for his supper, has been universally loved by generations of children. First written in 1899, the story has become a childhood classic and the authorized American edition with the original drawings by the author has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Little Black Sambo is a book that speaks the common language of all nations, and has added more to the joy of little children than perhaps any other story. They love to hear it again and again; to read it to themselves; to act it out in their play.
