Additional thinking about Compiled List of Challenged Books 2008-2012 made me copy Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books: 2000-2009 and do the same markup as indicated below.
Those I have already read are in bold. That appears to be fourteen.
Those already on my to-read list are in underlined. That appears to be eight.
Those I just have no interest or failed to finish are in strike-through. That appears to be one.
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?
