My DH gave my 50 Shades of Grey for my birthday

[hubes]

He was so excited about it. I accepted it gracefully, but it looks like I have to read it now. Maybe I'll like it?

awww... I think overall it's a nice gesture?

I am taking it that he doesn't know a lot about the book but knows a lot of women are "in" to it.

[eddy]

Hahahaha!

[hubes]

Oh geez nic.

Pretty much Nicole. I have been trying to go to the library more and his friends' wives were going on and about it a couple of weeks ago.

So, really, I think he has no idea.

[eightangryreindeer]

Ok, so you don't think he actually knows what it is about?

(I'd be hiding his neckties, just in case)

[hubes]

I think he thinks its just a romance novel. The girl who was talking about it read it at work for heaven's sake.

And he probably thinks I'll read it and jump him.

[dizzydee]

I overheard one of R's friends telling all the guys they all needed to buy it for their wives. Because his wife loved it so much and they have been having the sex a lot more.
I made sure to tell him not to bother.

Everyone needs to go and read the "About" page from this guy, this is some funny shit.

[firedancer49]

My DH wanted me to email it to him so that his co-worker could give it to his wife as a gift. Uh, no.

I'm kind of dying at the thought of your giant milk fed farm boy going into the bookstore all "..um...it's her birthday...she likes...books..?". Adorable.

LOL

Or post about it on fb?

That stuff stays under the bed. Between the mattresses. Come on!

[hubes]

OH! And, it was sitting on the table and my 19-yo SIL saw it and said "I've heard that's really good! I want to read it." And I was thinking "Well, don't think you'll be borrowing my copy. I don't share my porn with relatives."

[eightangryreindeer]

The thought of some of the people I used to work with becoming aroused in the lunchroom is going to make me lose it.

My former coworker told me she once used her office key to come into work on a weekend and have sex on the breakroom table.

That's not really related, but, yeah. Barf.

[eb777888]

Just read it for fun :-) Everyone I'm close to is obsessed with this book.

I'm reading the twilight series next. My sister gave the books to me while I was on vacation with her last week. I'm in the mood for this cheesy dumb shit right now for some reason.

Bosshole?

[-Moe-]

having not read the book, i can't attest to how much literary porn it includes, but i'll tell you what, i probably stopped counting how many people i saw openly reading the book while I went on vacation this week. it's funny, i have heard of not one soul that i know here reading this book, yet it's pretty freaking everywhere else outside of gortex city, the airport, the beach, the pool side, next to their partners, women everywhere were reading about it.

i wonder if men are reading it too?
