:) I wasn't aware of that until recently. If the reading public is ready to accept fan fiction packaged in mass market paperbacks sold at the grocery store, that's all good. I just hope no one is pretending it's anything but that. :)

I appreciate the value and significance of most forms of consensual sex and even enjoy reading books with a little spice, so I can't fault readers for their curiosity. I read a few pages, however, and like someone said in the video clip, it is pretty "wordy." Sometimes less is more. :)

The book might have appealed more to me had Christian Grey been a vampire (not the sparkling kind, though).

Welcome to the dumbing down of society....too many books now cater to the lower levels of intellect...I'm no book snob but even I couldn't bring myself to read crap like that...it's not much more sophisticated than the "letters to penthouse" crap...and yet politicians are praising it....bleh

This video was great! Also, I also found another pretty wonderful video relating to a reading of that silly book. (Also NSFW)

I LOVE that video!!! I saw it before I read the book and nearly died I laughed so hard :D

As for the book... my friends and I have a rule. You have to read the book before you see the movie. Currently I regret this rule. I spent more time rolling my eyes and huffing at its utter stupidity than anything else. Ive read software manuals that were better written.

Im looking forward to the movie though.... but we arent going for the story line :evil:

@steamboat28

I understand the fifty shades of grey series is a trilogy and not just 50 pages (your post said you only got through that much). What message is it sending in those first 50 pages?

Do you know if it's the same message by the end of the last book?

GILBERT GOTTFRIED??? WT &%$#^*!#. Sorry, was sitting here with my daughter when I decided to listen to this post. More like 50 shades of embarrassed!

Why is it you can't get to the mute button fast enough when someone is in the room with you?
