my dad had a copy of Lady chatterly's lover on the bookshelf.
it was a very big deal in Australia in the 60s, basically some blokes distributed enough pirate copies that particular banned book that the whole concept of book censorship fell apart and everyone loosened up a bit. Owning one was kind of a way for suburban dads to show they were hip, as his mates also had it. I never read it cover to cover, but flicked through it looking for the rooting as a teenager. However given that in the 80s the dads also all had stashes of Color Climax danish porn, it was all a bit tame by then,
its a nice groove
