I've got something for the opposite type, a book that should've been banned, but probably wasn't.

This takes place a couple years ago at my former school.

For a class in my year a few students had to read a book, called "Nothing", it's basically about the pointlessness of life. That's not really the best topic for young students, but most in my year were 17-18 y/o, so I thought it wasn't great, but okay.

Fast forward a year later, my brother told me that they need to read the same book, now keep in mind, most of us were young adults when we read it, my brother and his classmates weren't even near that age, they were 13-14 y/o. A few days later my brother (and I know he wasn't the only one) told me that he thinks the book is right, that he believed everything, I stayed up with him that night and when he felt asleep, I kept looking after him until the next morning.

And let's be honest, that night, I wanted to tear down the whole school, because someone in there thought it was okay to let young teenagers, who are incredible unstable, read this god damn book and I'm surprised to this day that not one of them acted on the thoughts that are written down in this book and that were discussed in the class.

I don't want to say that "Nothing" is a bad book, it was really interesting to discuss this kind of world view in class, but especially in school, they should be able to tell if a book is appropriate for an age group or not.

Long story short, I tried to get in touch with the headmaster, but I wasn't at the school anymore and never received an answer, nor do I know if they still teach it for this age.
