I have been a fan of LibraryThing (librarything.com) for over a year. I can spend hours finding undiscovered books through tags. I searched for "banned books" and noticed a book I haven't read before, 100 Banned Books: Censorship Histories of World Literature by Nicholas J. Karolides. This reference discussed titles that have historically been challenged or banned across the globe.
Here is the tag history:
