Brave New World? wow.
Twilight? hehehe.

Not hard to imagine who is behind book banning.

Brave new world is the only one I read. I can see why some people
think it is scandalous. Sex, drugs, test tube babies and questioning
god.
I am sure Falwell can get 1000 letters with one tirade on TV.

Personally I think the whole idea of banning books is silly. I would
have never read the Tropic if Cancer if it had not been banned and I
don't think I actually finished it. Once you got past the George
Carlin "7 word" rant on page 5 it really started dragging on and I
started not to care about these people's miserable lives.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Falwell propped up and whining about
these books. Of course, he's been dead for four years but that wouldn't
matter to his audience, which has been brain-dead for decades.
