In honor of Banned Books Week (Sept. 22-28), we created the Twitter hashtag #RockBannedBooks to raise awareness of books that have been banned or contested. The purpose of the hashtag is to mashup of rock band names with banned book titles (in some instances, we used songs instead of bands).
Some highlights:
Fleetwood Macbeth by William Shakespeare
Go Ask Alice Cooper by Anonymous
Uncle Tom Petty's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Of Mice and Men at Work by John Steinbeck
Slaughterhouse-Five for Fighting by Kurt Vonnegut (via @spotsonmyapples)

The Joy of Sex Pistols by Alex Comfort (via @literatissima)
