Not as many compared to some, I'll grant you. OTOH I've read books that have been banned which were not on this list so six of one/half dozen of the other. Case in point, I might not have read the sex-ed and pagan books that were on this list but it doesn't mean I don't have a fully stocked library of others.
It's a shame they don't explain the reasoning behind some of the bannings. I mean Where's Waldo?? How to Eat Fried Worms?? Hitchhiker's Guide?? Huh??
