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.

Camp of the saints.
It's good. Idk if it's technically banned but it's definitely controversial.
It talks about hordes of migrants showing up on boats on the shores of europe (lol)
and then they invade basically in like zombie apocalypse style.
It's legitimately a good and entertaining book.

my public library has it, so i checked it out a few months ago
i unfortunately found it to be impossibly long-winded; despite my interest in the subject matter i wasn't able to force myself through it. 20th-century French fiction is usually like this
i quite enjoyed a recent article in First Things about it though:
