Recently finished Obscene in the Extreme: The Burning and Banning of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath . Like the title states Steinbeck's book was found by an influential segment of the American population to be literally "obscene in the extreme" and banned in areas. The censoring of the book sparked a discussion of labor issues and practices, immigration, and Communist influences at the time.
A great read.
