My wife was reading that 50 Shades of Grey in bed last night and I could tell she was turned on because she suddenly put the book down and started licking her lips.The benefits of being a gymnast I suppose.


50 shades of grey is quite a easy read i heard most women just flicked through it.......


"Been reading "50 Shades of Grey" have you?" I asked my secretary when she strode into work this morning.Blushing bright red she said, "How the hell do you know that? I have it downloaded on my Kindle and I only read it in discrete corners of the train so nobody can look over my shoulder.""Simple", I replied, "Every time you take a step I can hear a squelching sound."

My wife has just got a electric shock while reading 50 shades of grey on her kindle!!That will teach her to use it with wet fingers!!

My Newspaper printed little parts of the books, and well i had a good laugh

not because the book is so brilliant and funny, but because the author must have a brilliant PR company.

I not have read the book, but the few printed lines been more than enough, i would say it is the most boring book ever, and most likely a book with empty pages is more thrilling.

The writing style is awful, far to simple,
my newspaper counted the girl flushes 125 times in the first few chapters, and i wonder why

the research of the author was not good as well, it not seems like she has a lot of knowlegde about what she is writing

When I was 17 - 19 I had my intellectual rebell period, and with reading Satre and Beauvoir I ended reading history of the O. which is written about the same scene, but well a much better writting style

I not understand the hype about 50 shades of grey at all, and i have the feeling a lot are reading it, because a friend they know read it, and well that it is a PR thing

and I really not want to offend anyone, so this is not meant bad, but I wonder why else people read it? if their life is perhaps boring, frustrating or whatever else. Not everyone, but with some this might be a reason

The wonderful Victoria Coren has written a piece about this

As ever she finds the head of the nail with unerring precision.

If you liked that, then I can recommend her pieces for GQ written in the period leading up to the announcement of her engagement to David Mitchell which can be found via her blog.

Starshine:
thanks so very much for sharing this article

I laughed so much by reading it, finally i not feel so alone anymore for finding this book boring and dull

The idea of having a Master who urges me to eat pancakes is great though, I wish I would have someone who tells me to eat nice and sweet things all the time  :D

Excellent article.

This must be one of the first books that I have given up on half way through. Found it midly interesting until getting to the sex bits which just seemed ridiculous.
