Google showcases banned books

There are many attempts each year to remove great books from libraries and schools, and in an effort by Google, Google Book Search will be celebrating Banned Books Week by helping people learn and explore banned books. Google Books is showcasing 42 classics that can be browsed, and purchased.

Showcased titles include:
  • To Kill a Mockingbird
  • Lolita
  • The Great Gatsby
  • 1984
  • The Lord of the Flies
  • Catcher in the Rye
  • Of Mice and Men
  • A Clockwork Orange
  • One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
  • For Whom the Bell Tolls
  • An American Tragedy
Banned books week is the last week of September each year. It celebrates the freedom to choose, and the freedom to express one's opinion. It's great that a company like Google can help gain awareness for educational causes like this.
