banned books do you have one?  

I do not have it now , but I remember my father having a very old copy of Mein Kampf.

I used to have D H Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover which, in th 1960's was banned.
It wouldn't cause a stir now with today's literature but at the time it was classed as very risque!!

mein krampft is no longer illegal in the uk. I know its illegal in germany and austria but even saying adolf hitler can result in a very very heavy fine and prison time you litrally can not own or say anything to do with the third rich in these countrys its like theyve tried to erase it from the history books but you can no denyt what happened.
One book i soooo want is the alexanda livenyenko one its not even published anymore as its banned by the russian goverment i once saw a second hand copy on amazon for around 15k yeah i pretty much earn that much in a year.

So what do you think of it?

I love the ideas of banning books in schools! Books being labeled as "banned" is the reason I started reading so heavily as a child. Currently on my bookshelf, I have several banned books which include: "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker, "Portnoy's Complaint" by Phillip Roth, "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, and "Gone With The Wind" by Margaret Mitchell.
As a preteen, my favorite author was Judy Blume because the subject matter in her books were so taboo!

I do not own any banned book in our country. First it's hard to find. Our goverment is very efficient in banning the books on extreme political views or religious view. Besides, it's risky to own a book like this. I might be prosecuted if it's discovered. So, I better keep myself away from owing a banned book.

It's much easier to access such information online nowadays.

Yes, i have this book and already translated to my mother tongue. Apart from this one, i have some books of taslima nasrin, hasrat jalal, salman rushdi and so on.

it is fine to own mein kamph in the uk many historians own a copy to study i am studying history and may by a copy.Out of interest why do you own it and do you read.
