kitsune13 asked people to come up with a list of fiction, anything from literature classics to genre novels, that include what would fall under the (however vague) definition of 'indecency'. About a zillion people responded, and the whole thing is one long wonderful rec literature list.

Apparently I missed that in Sunday School. Dang! *grabs family Bible* I'ma goin'to read me some porn, yessiryoubetcha!
It would be funny if it wasn't *sad*.
Maybe we should ask LJ to suspend any account with "Bible" in the interests...
