OMG - I just picked up 50 shades for the 1st time

[arborgold]

While shopping at Target and HOLY HELL! No wonder housewives across the nation are treating this like crack.

I didn't realize those books were so explicit! I was imagining something more along the lines of my mother's old romance novels...

ETA: Picked up as in I looked at it in the store, not as in I purchased it. ::shudder::

My Book Club read it for June (our "beach read" month) and when I started reading it I was like
I finished the series and they were basically herliquins that Mom's don't feel trashy reading.

i haven't read it (and don't plan to) b/c i know i'll be creeped out reading things and thinking about all the people who said they read it and got turned on by it.... some people just need to NOT tell you about these things

[livinitup]

Go back and buy it.

I finally read it. Well...I spent like 3 hours getting through it, skipping over pages here and there. It. Was. Not. Good. And if I ever read the phrase, "he touched my sex" again, I'll vom.

Oh, you mean it didn't put your inner goddess into the lotus position?

God those books piss me off. Plus, either I'm having sex wrong or she is, and it's driving me nuts, because no WAY does it happen that way. Come the fuck ON.
