50 Banned Books That Everyone Should Read

Actually there are only 49 books listed in the source, so one book must have been banned from the Banned List. As an Australian, I can't quite grasp this banned books concept, but I score quite well on the challenge, so I decided to post it. You also might do well.
As in the source article, the list is broken down by categories:
01-12: Protect the Children
13-21: Religion and Politics
22-34: Sex
35-40: Race and Gender Issues
41-49: Multiple Reasons
