Banned Books Week has begun and new titles are dominating this year's top challenged list.
Banned Books Week is Oct. 5-11 and this year's theme is, "Censorship Is so 1984. Read for Your Rights." The theme is inspired by George Orwell's "1984," a dystopian novel that tells the story of a man trying to break away from his society's oppressive regime. Though the novel is set in 1984 (the book was published in 1949), freedom advocates argue that the increase of banned books today is similar to the censorship displayed in Orwell's work.
