AS AMERICA'S annual celebration of the right to read prepares to kick off today, E.L. James's erotic sensation Fifty Shades of Grey joins a list of classics including Catcher in the Rye and Fahrenheit 451 that have been challenged in libraries and schools.

Banned Books Week, which marks its 30th anniversary this year, will be marked with displays of censored literature in thousands of libraries and bookshops across the US.

There will be a ''virtual read-out'', where readers and authors name their favourite censored titles, a ''50 Shades of Banned'' reading of erotic literature in Manhattan, courtesy of the National Coalition Against Censorship and the Comic Book Legal Defence Fund.

The American Library Association has named a series of titles challenged or censored over the past 30 years, from Catcher in the Rye to the Harry Potter series. One writer, Corey Michael Dalton, is taking his celebration of banned literature to the extreme, and will be spending the week in a window of Indianapolis's Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library.

''It's about bringing attention to Banned Books Week, which has been observed [in] the last week of September every year since 1982,'' he told the library.

''Many people are surprised to learn that books are still actively being challenged and/or banned in the US, but it's true. In 2011, for example, To Kill a Mockingbird, Brave New World, and The Hunger Games trilogy were all in the list of top 10 most challenged books.''

The American Library Association received 326 reports of attempts to remove books from shelves last year.
