…while simultaneously unavailable here.

The Library of Congress has released a short-ish list of the books that “shaped America”.

“…so many of them banned in Ireland e.g For Whom The Bell Tolls & the Grapes of Wrath, the Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, the Lord of the Flies and the Color Purple, presumably also a few others. There’s a great expo of books banned in Ireland (including the above, and ffs, Gulliver’s Travels!) here.
