"Lady Chatterley's Lover" Is Among These Iconic Books That Have Been Banned

John Green's 2005 novel "Looking For Alaska" ($9, originally $13) has been a YA favorite for years, but it's also faced its fair share of challenges and bans. The book centers on themes of grief and the search for meaning, following a teenage boy, his quest to learn the last words of a famous Renaissance man, and the joys and sorrows he shares with his quirky friend group before and after a tragedy strikes. Because of its inclusion of profanity, drug and alcohol use, and sex, the book was the fourth-most-challenged and -banned book of the 2010s, according to the American Library Association.
