Fifty Shades of Porn

Okay, I know I'm a little late to get on the bandwagon here, but I've been busy reading the first two Game of Thrones books for the past couple of months, and only got around to starting Fifty Shades of Grey last night.  I then spent most of today sucked into the book and did almost nothing productive.  According to my Kindle, I'm 72% through the book.  Probably not going to finish it tonight, but I made a good go of trying to get through it in one day!

Am I enjoying the book?  Yes.  Is it very readable and hard to put down?  Yes.  Is it complete and total *pornography*???  YES!!!


Now, I'm not talking soft porn here.  This is serious stuff, and a lot of it!  S&M and everything!  Mind you, I'm not offended by this or anything, I just find it really interesting that this book has gone SO mainstream and that they're making a movie out of it.  How on earth are they going to make a mainstream movie out of this book that's not a porno?

I had an appointment for a pedicure today, and I took my Kindle with me so that I wouldn't have to put the book down for too long.  So I'm sitting there having my legs massaged, basically reading porn.  Have to say, it felt a little dirty!  I was really hoping that my nail lady wasn't going to ask me what I was reading...

I'm not even going to start discussing the actual subject matter of the book, which is a controversy in and of itself.  Suffice it to say that if you're looking for a stimulating (pun intended) read, and you're not afraid of some very very explicit sex scenes, give it a try!  I already know that I'll be getting the second and third books after I'm done with this one!  :)

I'm just finishing the first Game of Thrones! Looking forward to discussing it with you. Heard the Shades of Grey book was poorly written, would you agree?
