Answer 2

There is absolutely nothing wrong with them.
You would be surprised to find what books have been censored and/or banned.
Even Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer have been dropped from Libraries, banned and censored due to racial content, although the book reflected the true tone of the real times.
Here are some links you can use to research banned books.

Please read the info on this first web site to give you some background about banning and censoring books:

I don't have an exact website for you but if you do a searching for either a specifically banned book or a search for a list of banned books then you will get a complete search for a number of various websites that will have the information that you are looking for. I have looked for banned books this way many times.

Answer 4

Where are you from? You actually ban books there? And you would add Harry Potter? Shades of Taliban.

Answer 5

I believe that if you got to the National Library Association you can find the list.
