Sit back and relax in a 360-degree space that serves as an optimal setting for readings from popular books challenged for a variety of reasons including obscene language, sexual content, or storylines that spark political controversy. Take in the lineup selected by students, faculty and staff from across campus and see if you can put your finger on why they’ve been flagged as problematic.
