What banned/controversial books have you guys read? Which would you recommend? Are there any books that should be on this list but aren't?
Personally I think this list needs to include Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors which is currently the only book where the publisher has been successfully sued for a crime committed by the reader. Also I have no idea why Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses isn't included considering there is a bounty on the translators of the book.

None of these books are banned, I'm not even talking about the US, you can buy them in Chile as well. That list is just a bunch of dictator apologia, Apartheid apologia and antisemtic stuff lol.

The creator wanted to be "neutral" and added a bunch of anti-goy books too.

He's a big longpost all on his own, his time after Democratization, and his eventual murder by his own farm workers
But so far as i know there are no bannning of an book in modern RSA, there have been no desire or need. The ruling ANC is too everpresent to ever fear anything like a controversial white supremacist book or anthing
There was a minor controversy when his biography book was released, yet it was upper class white liberals and blacks who issued their tirade on the media, but no political action or fricks given by the everyman black peep on the street.
White political power so so insignificant and no threat, so there have never been a social or political motivation to ever ban any literature even white supremacist litearture. Ironic that only Apartheid SA ever banned books and enforced these bans, but modern RSA have not.

Not ironic at all, like you said, whites have no political power as a group nowadays. During Apartheid censorship was a necessity to avoid insurrections before it could happen.
