Additional thinking about\u00c2\u00a0Compiled List of Challenged Books 2008-2012<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0made me copy Top 100 Banned\/Challenged Books: 2000-2009<\/a> and do the same markup as indicated below.<\/p>\n

Those I have already read are in\u00c2\u00a0bold<\/strong>. That appears to be fourteen.<\/p>\n

Those already on my to-read list are in\u00c2\u00a0underlined<\/span>.\u00c2\u00a0That appears to be eight.<\/p>\n

Those I just have no interest or failed to finish are in\u00c2\u00a0strike-through<\/del>.\u00c2\u00a0That appears to be one.<\/p>\n

Looks like the ratio is about the same on this 100 count list as the 34 count list. Maybe I can knock out these eight by the end of next year?<\/p>\n
