Who would be the authors and which book titles would be most likely to be banned?

If I wrote a book, I'd like it to get on the banned list, nothing like free publicity. I don't think you have to ban a book to keep the general population from reading it. Look which books are being talked about right now: Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey - all one has to do to advance one's nefarious ends is keep crap like that at the forefront of the public consciousness. Sticking something philosophical or thoughtful on a banned books list might be the only way to get it read.
1984, Fahrenheit 451, everything written by Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, the Anti-Federalists, and probably Benjamin Franklin as well, because we wouldn't want a rebirth of Common Sense.
The Holy Bible might make the banned list.
