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

Art Spiegelman's 1986 graphic novel "Maus" ($10, originally $17), a Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Holocaust, has been in the spotlight recently as a frequent target of book bans. Depicting the Holocaust through animal illustrations (Jewish characters are drawn as mice, while Nazis are cats), the book has been banned for use of profanity and for a single illustration of a woman in a bathtub during a particularly tragic scene. One Tennesse school board member, according to PBS, also objected to the book's depictions of the horrors of the Holocaust, complaining that schools shouldn't "promote this stuff."
