fifty shades of grey
|
fifty shades of grey I've been on a Harold Robbins kick lately, so maybe I'm a little polarized right now, but this book has seen a lot of exposure lately...check it out if you're interested.... To women wondering which position to assume while enjoying the pornographic runaway best-seller Fifty Shades of Grey, here's what I'd recommend: Sit in a thrumming bus or subway car and read E L James' indefatigable sex story on an e-reader, cradling the instrument with one hand while stroking the touchscreen to turn pages with the other. Odds are, other anonymous readers will surreptitiously be doing the very same thing. And if so, odds are also that each woman is in a state of arousal, amusement, or, at the very least, amazement at the ingenuity and imagination with which the pseudonymous James — described in sketchy press materials as a West London TV executive and mother of two — has made steamy female-centric erotica out of what began as Twilight fan fiction. If Bella Swan had more gumption and sexual curiosity, she might be Anastasia Steele, Fifty Shades' 21-year-old heroine, who quickly and decisively loses her virginity to an overpowering man but never relinquishes her fondness for the girlish, clod-kicking expression Holy crap! And if Edward Cullen weren't, well, a vampire, he might be Christian Grey, the fiendishly rich and handsome sexual fetishist who plays Dominant to Ana's Submissive. As hardcore (and, per this lady, yowza! pleasurable) lady porn, Fifty Shades of Grey has a long literary tradition behind it, from The Story of O and the erotica of Anne Rice to Toni Bentley's The Surrender and Catherine Millet's The Sexual Life of Catherine M. But as a hot publishing phenomenon (Vintage Books has paid seven figures for the rights to a trilogy) that pours female-oriented erotica over a base of Twilight leavings and makes brilliant use of the discreet portability of e-books, Fifty Shades of Grey is in a class by itself. Holy crap! A reader might just miss her bus stop. B+ Embrace the suck |

I've never really cared for Harold Robbins' books. I don't know why - maybe they are... too brash for me? 2022... it HAS be better, right?!

Well I am currently reading this.. as someone who has read a multitude of books categorized as Erotic Romance (that means there is a plot sort of and and Happily Ever after between some sort of couple) I am still enjoying it and find it an easy read. It delights me to have seen this on the news and to know there is hope for women and men everywhere, if this is a runaway secret read. All the men may claim their wives don't want it.. but they want SOMETHING. )

All 3 books had me constantly turned on. People hate them, but if they would just take them as books for reading enjoyment they would do a lot better. I liked them, not love, but am looking forward to the movie. I sent an Angel to watch over you last night, it returned in a hurry. I asked why, it said "Angels can't watch porn." Thanks for fucking traumatizing my fucking Angel! Don't bother trying to figure me out. Not even the little voices in my head understand me. It's pointless!
