banned books

The general reasons books are banned is because of the language used, sexual content, the use of God's name in vain, degrading a certain race, and more. This shows that people can't really face reality. Situations in these books really do happen, so what's wrong with reading about it? I've only read three of the books on the list, but knowing that so many books are banned makes me want to read them, and see what the controversy is all about. If I didn't read the books that I read, my education would be affected because they are all very great books that opened my eyes wider to the world.
