Book Riot Read Harder Challenge 2017: Read a book that has been banned or frequently challenged in your country 
 The fact that this book was written over 30 years ago astounds me. It is so relevant to the world we live in today. I'm ashamed I hadn't read it earlier in my life, but without the wisdom of age (and the specter of the current political climate) I know it wouldn't have resonated with me as much as it has today. I'll think of this book often--a sure sign that it deserves a spot in my list of favorites.
