Re: Fifty Shades of Grey
The relationship aspect is interesting, the sex interesting but just repetitive after awhile Glad I read them - not on my read again pile though....

of mine who had a copy with her and said she couldn't put it down. In fact, we were in our favorite pub, where she
goes everyday, either for her lunch break or to visit on her way home from work. She was reading the book and ignoring
her drink. I asked her what was the attraction. She just smiled and rolled her eyes. When I pressed her, she told me
"I can't tell you, you'll have to read the book." I've never known her to be that moved by anything. She certainly isn't
a bookworm. So I'd like to hear from the ladies who've found this book so captivating. Is this something, a ritualized
submission to what appears to me to be cruelty, that all women have considered? I've had girlfriends who were so
submissive, that it was a turnoff. They would have no problem adapting to The Rules set forth in "Fifty Shades,"
whatever they are. It seems to me, that the book has nothing to do with "Literature" or "Character Development", or
any prevalent writing constructs. It's tapping into an area in the Female Psyche that many women, under the right
circumstances, would love to indulge. What are your thoughts?

Could this mean they weren't good books?

you King of Cultural White Elephants. Come forth and render your thoughts. It's amazing, I haven't read a single
word of it, and I'm giving serious consideration to it's iconic aspects. Think of all the really bad ideas that have been
commercially successful--Reality TV, Monica Lewinsky, the hoola hoop, Rocky Horror Picture Show, the Gremlin,
Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean sausage, Jimmy Dean Bisquits and Gravy, American Idol, Paris Hilton, the 1971 Ford Pinto.
Huey, get back to me!!! This is bigger than Fluoride(The Communist Conspiracy) in Our Drinking Water. 246
toothpicks, I'm an excellent driver, show me the money. There's no end to it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fifty Shades of Grey--I salute
you!. You're the Emperors Clothes and Amtrak all rolled into one.

Finished this about 4 hours ago. I've been more entertained by Gus(my ungrateful cat) when he's loaded on catnip.
He's a trip. He's convinced grapes are alive. He'll stalk one until he's sure he has the strategic advantage, then pounce
and slap it around until he loses interest. I can't make up my mind whether he's incredibly creative or needs glasses.
Fifty Shades of Grey is so contrived and the characters so unlikable, that by the midpoint of the book I was hoping
she'd choke to death on her own psychobabble and take him with her.
