"To choose a good book, 

look in an inquisitor's prohibited list."  

~ John Aikin

It does seem sometimes like the people who challenge books look for the ones that are the best, and then try to find some reason for banning it.  So many wonderful books have been challenged over the years.  As Aikin suggests, I often look at lists of challenged books when I want a new book to read. :)
