As part of its annual "State of America's Libraries" report, the American Library Association today released the list of the top ten most frequently challenged books of 2013. Leading the list for the second year in a row is Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants series. Second was Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Sherman Alexie's Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey, and Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games.
