Yes. It's funny how old this meme is. It's about as old as novels, at least. It's fun reading centuries-old novels and finding references (well, thinly veiled protests) to the holier than thou impeccable paragons of virtue that have nothing better to do than hassle someone who wishes to read a book.

I suppose there's been some progress, if the fiction police have had to retreat to a limited subset of fiction to call sinful.
