[Publib] adult level challenged books

If you haven't already done so, call ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom.  

IMO, challenges to materials are usually by people who think they (the materials) will corrupt young, impressionable children.

Subject: [Publib] adult level challenged books


Has anyone made a list of the adult/high school reading level challenged books? I've got the ALA 100 Most Challenged books list, but most are for children or grade school/middle school age readers. I'm working on a display for adult/high school readers for Banned Book Week. 
Currently I'm going through the ALA list & marking the ones that I know are adult reading level but I'm afraid I may miss one or two due to unfamiliarity with the title.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
