How do you feel about censorship? In honor of Banned Books Week, we found Reader.com’s infographic on “The Most Feared Books of All Time.”

Some of the books featured in the piece include children’s books such as Green Eggs & Ham by Dr. Seuss, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, and the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. It also showcases several classics such as Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, and The Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
