We could share banned books that are present on Wikisource, although for the most part those are only pre-1923.

Hey everyone, this week has been "Banned Book" week. I'm sure Wikipedia (and Wikisource of course) could get in on the action. Free knowledge, anyone?

I'm also looking at you WikiLibrary. 

List of books banned by governments: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments

Books include everything from The Bible, The Quran, Frankenstein, The Grapes of Wrath, Green Eggs and Ham (why are you here??), 1984, ...and of course the Fifty Shades of Grey  trilogy. 

Thoughts?
