You know when people talk about "banned books" in america its mostly either 2 things, a pr thing to say,
>"oh look how REBELIOUS and COOL these nono books are, its like a secrete or something! it would be really funny if you read them, haha"
then they have a little stand in the public library of some grade school that then no one but the midwit girl who spout basic bitch-isms proceeds to read. And it usually contains something like Catcher in the rye which was slightly titillating in 1955, and diary of a wimpy kid cause he had the cheese touch.
or
>Yah lets not spend school money on this shit to put in our grade school library since its not what the parent teacher group likes.

they are never actually "banned" in any real capacity more then what the word that serve as a snazy headline.
It literally takes 1 hick towns parents to say, "Yah I dont like Cummy mcfartfaces comming out" for a book to be considered """""""banned""""""" in common parlance. its not like a swat team gets called when the skinny kid pulls out Kite Runner;

For instance I think Captian Underpants and 50 shades of grey were also a "banned book" to give a sense of the level we are talking about.Its usually stuff that a slightly protective parent doesn't want their 8 year old to read. Like I think the kite runner was on it to because there was violence in it.
