Fifty Shades of Grey?

[opeth]

I have a very strong feeling this author will soon be sued for plagiarism. If not by Stephenie Meyer, then by someone else she has borrowed from and not acknowledged. Although I hate Stephenie Meyer's writing, I actually felt sorry for her when I found out how E.L. James came to write her book. It was originally Twilight fan fiction, but she has since changed the names of the main characters. When you read James' book, it's like deja-vu. There's something malicious about that--profiting from someone's else's ideas and hard work. It's unethical and just plain wrong.

I would rather read Fifty Shades of Good-God-Put-That-Thing-Away-I'm-Watching-Columbo.

Much better.

Shoot, that's a Tuesday night around here!

I really don't have any interest in reading this trilogy because reading explicit sex scenes really makes me uncomfortable

[cat in a bag]

I'm not going to try them...I just wondered if there was more to them than the sex, but it doesn't sound like it!

Lol Me and my mom went and giggled like we were fourteen in the bookstore. We went to the back of the shop with the book and were flicking through the pages! Had a look now... wont be buying or reading no more if it, even sneakly hahaha

Have not, and will not read. Basically soft core porn or writing like the Harlequin Romance Novels my grandma reads from what I have been told. Everyone is reading these though. The writer is cleaning up for sure $$$

I haven't read these, nor do I intend to - not my cup of tea. I never cared for that sort of "literature". From what I've heard, it does sound like there's not much of a story other than an obsessive sex thing.

I have heard the described as "Twilight for Housewives" with bondage.

I zipped through them. Didn't like them at all.

Funny or Die did a parody of '50 Shades' with Selena Gomez. It makes me want to read the book.
