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

"Slaughterhouse Five" ($14, originally $17) by Kurt Vonnegut has the weight of being a modern classic behind it, but that hasn't stopped the challenges from coming. The sci-fi antiwar novel follows a young American soldier's traumatic experiences in World War II and beyond, with time travel adding twists to the plot. It has been banned over the decades for numerous reasons: profanity, depictions of sex, accusations of being antireligion or anti-Christian, and more.
