Question
do u know where i can get a list of prohibited books?

Answer
Sorry, no.  There was once an "index," a list of prohibited books, but sometime in the 1960's that was quietly (very very quietly - no one knew it was happening until weeks and months later when people in search of it simply could not find it - there was no announcement whatsoever at the time) folded it up and did away with it.  No explanation, no approvals to close it down being fielded or discussed, no officials going on record having mandated to shut it down, no nothing.  It just went away and that was all.
There is much interesting information about it on the Wiki that may prove helpful:

Hope this helps, God bless!

Expertise

I focus on the "why" and "how" questions of the Faith and one`s need for the Church to overcome sin, live the life God wishes us, and to become what God wants us to be. I seek to provide insight and information such that you are then able to see for yourself the answer to your questions.

Experience

Years of extensive research, thought, and prayerful meditation on many of the issues that trouble Catholics today, taught catechetical classes to teenagers and adults, answered many questions already.
