Can anyone 'splain Fifty Shades of Gray to me?

[Tonyblack]

I was looking for a book to read at Phoenix airport and saw the offending book. I got Coraline instead.

Fifty Shades of Grey now the fastest selling paperback since records began.

Heard of it (hard to avoid hearing of it), haven't read it so I can't honestly comment. I suspect one description I read might be close to the mark - Mills and Bang

I'm reliably informed that #50ShadesOfGrey is a pretty easy read. My housemate told me she flicked all the way through it.

I'd call that a flicker of hope

last month I received that for the shop, but didn't sell it (and didn't read it). Now that I've given that back, they gave me "fifty shades of black" ... guess I won't be selling that either...

'Hurt me,' she begged, raising her skirt as she bent over my workbench. 'Very well,' I replied, 'You've got fat ankles and no dress sense.'

After Holy Hype Triad of Twilight/City of Whatever/Hunger Games I'm avoiding hype-books...

@ Bouncy's latest gem

Those I know who've actually read any of it say it's badly written and pure hype. The Story of O is a classic in the SM arena. 50 Shades of How Can I Just Rake in The Cash, on the other hand, sounds like a trouser leg of time away.

But what I can't understand is it started out as Twilight fan-fiction.

How'd you get from sparkly vampires to S&M?

You, apparently, have not read any of the True Blood books (or seen the series).

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I have and I have.

Is this Christian Gray a vampire then?

As we left hospital once again, we wondered whether to change the safe word from llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

She stood before me, naked in my shed. 'I'm yours for today,' she gasped, 'You can do whatever you want with me.' So I took her to Nando's.

'Not in this shed,' she said, 'I'm an exhibitionist. I need to do it somewhere we can be seen.' I was horrified. 'Not . . the conservatory?'
