    5. This list is so great! I am thinking of creating my own. I agree with Kim, "Gone With the Wind" is an excellent book. If you feel like stopping when reading it, keep going.

      Also, I had never heard of the 50 Banned Books and while checking out the list, there were quite a few that we read in school. Amazing.
