Have you ever read a book that was 'banned'?

And did it make the experience much more enjoyable?

I agree with @DrWatson
[quote]Very few books are actually banned in the literal sense of being illegal to possess. But an awful lot have been kept from school and public libraries.[/quote]

By the time I was of an age to [i][b]want[/b][/i] to read adult books (c. 11/12) they were freely available in England - I'm thinking of Lady Chatterley, Fanny Hill, The Ginger Man, Ulysses etc., which had originally been published in France.....

@ArtieKat Fanny Hill was made into a pretty sexy film in the 80s..kind of like an advanced Carry On film.

@Entwistle I don't remember the film but I did watch the TV series in 2007
