I've read Hunger Games, and FSOG. Between my son and daughter, one or the other has read Captain Underpants, Hunger Games, Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Bone. So our household has read 60% of the books on the list. Not bad. :)
The Hunger Games?! That one I don't get. My son used to read Captain Underpants & he turned out just fine thank you. Peeks of Being a Wallflower & the one by the author of A Fault In Our Stars are 2 of my daughters' favorites... Everybody has read a book that's "unsuitable for the age group" so really, what does that mean? I remember finding my aunt's copy of the Joy of Sex when I was 12. I'm good, thanks. ;p I'm now sitting here & shaking my head.
I'm not generally in favour of banning books - for one thing that just makes them more appealing to most teens! However, personally speaking, from the extracts I've seen online & comments from friends, I'd ban E L James '50 Shades of Grey' not for the 'porn' but for the appalling writing!
