I love reading the racy contemporary romance novels and spend a small fortune on Amazon downloading them. Of course, my husband enjoys that I read them as well :wink:

Are there any men who have read any of the romance novels like 50 Shades, Crossfire Series, etc? Do you read them with your spouse/SO or have you read them out of curiousity?

    Nope. Can't say that I have. Give me some solid WoT, GoT, or a decent biography, and you have me sold.

    I'm not a guy, but I don't read them either. I am not opposed to erotic fiction, but it must be well written.

    Told her I expect a full ORAL report.

    Yeah... Instead of reading 50 Shades, I'd just save some time and watch porn. Then read a good book.

    Every time someone reads 50 Shades and enjoys it, a kitten is murdered.

    I have not read much lately, but I have enjoyed the benefit of people reading some of the recent stuff.

    I would suggest the Beauty series by Anne Rice (under an non de plum) . I read much of that one out loud to someone a few years back. that was fun reading time. :happy:

    None of that drivel can touch my imagination or even memories.

    I read 50 Shades.
    I didn't advertise that I was when in the middle of reading it. It was amazingly funny walking into some conversations women were having about the book and I was able to respond. Some of the looks on their faces were priceless!

    What surprised me even more was how some of the innuendos were and are taken totally out of the context and mean something else, but women don't know.

    Right on. 50 Shades of lousy juvenile fan fiction is a no. Kushiel's Dart? Yes.

    Nope.

    Well, I have seen reviews such as this one:

    And heard some audio excerpts. There is a ton of stuff from Usenet which is written with more style.
