I second Rabbit, Run and I nominate The Country Girls by Edna O'Brien. For its frankness with social and sexual issues, Ireland banned it, O'Brien's parents were shamed and the family's parish priest publicly burned copies of the novel.


From Goodreads:

Meet Kate and Baba, two young Irish country girls who have spent their childhood together. As they leave the safety of their convent school in search of life and love in the big city, they struggle to maintain their somewhat tumultuous relationship. Kate, dreamy and romantic, yearns for true love, while Baba just wants to experience the life of a single girl. Although they set out to conquer the world together, as their lives take unexpected turns, Kate and Baba must ultimately learn to find their own way.

"It's a difficult trip, this coming of age . . . O'Brien tells it with love and outrage, compassion and contempt." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)

"A treasure . . . powerful . . . intelligent . . . ironic." (The New York Times Book Review)

OK, the OFFICIAL list of links to get To Kill a Mockingbird is up. The unofficial list can now be deleted. That also includes post #25.
Well, I'm glad we got that straightened out, as well as my misguided attempt to help Jon out. What was I thinking?

No problem. Although my intentions were entirely honorable, I've had a good time today discovering the pitfalls of unsolicited helpfulness.

I'll third The Grapes of Wrath and Rabbit Run, both of which I have been meaning to read for a very long time.

I think the link to Amazon U.S. is incorrect? The U.S. link appears to be a play, where as the UK link appears to be a novel. It looks like there is no ebook of the novel available for the U.S.?

And so it is! Well so. As it's already there I'll leave it since it is available as an ebook and people can travel by internet to get it. In addition to the other links here is also one for Australia:

Maybe Tom could remove the U.S. links in the official posts. It would be a shame to have someone accidentally buy the wrong ebook, even if Amazon is very good about returns.

I've pestered Tom enough lately with MR PMs, so I don't want to send him another one.

I thought I'd add the project Gutenberg link for Fanny Hill a book which really has been banned.

I wonder why nobody mentioned A Clockwork Orange. It seemed like a banned book.
