In the US, certain books such as Peyton Place, were banned for "moral" reasons. More recently, other books such as Huck Finn, were banned because it used the N-word. There are banned books on both sides of the ideological spectrum, depending on where you are in the US. Heck, at various times, even Moby Dick and the Red Badge of Courage have been banned in places in the US.
