Fuck... I think I even looked it up too 😫
So... is a banned book list a list of books in your library labelled "banned", or is it a list of books that are banned from your library?

Bookstores like to have display shelves of "banned books" to entice people to read them, thinking that there's something they're not supposed to know, but in reality those shelves of "banned" books serve only to corrupt and debase them.
For example, see this list of "banned books" from Columbia University's somewhat recent article on the topic: https://www.tc.columbia.edu/articles/2023/september/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-book-bans-sweeping-the-us/
Also, it's "discretion," not "disgression."

A banned book is one your bookstore won't carry.
A "banned" book is one your bookstore will say is banned while placing that very book on prominent display to be sold.
For instance, you won't find a new copy of Camp of the Saints for sale anywhere, and used copies are very expensive (fortunately it's freely available in PDF form with a simple search).
On the other hand, the "banned" book "This Book is Gay" is widely available for sale.
I'm talking about "your local school/bookstore/library's 'banned books' list."
Which definition were you using there?
