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

    That almost makes me want to read it.
    You have to also enjoy it.

    men need pictures... even in the past!

    yep, just google 1800's porn

    True. We are more visually oriented. It's evolution baby!

    I agree that 50 Shades was not the best I've read. A lot of people don't know what contemporary romance is unless you mention 50 Shades...like another person said, a guy walking into a 50 Shades conversation is pretty funny.

    *in for homework assignments*

    Michelle, get back to work!! Lol

    WTH, PBL? I'm still in vacation mode, remember?

    I read the 50 shades books.

    I was in a dark place in my life. I finished book 1 while on a girls' trip with a friend of mine, and I started crying at the end. She asked me why, and I said "I can't ever get those 3 hours of my life back."

    Then in my state of self-punishment, I read books 2 and 3. I had bought the trilogy together for my Kindle and don't ever not finish a book I've bought.

    ETA: Hubs wouldn't ever, and should never read.

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

    YES GAME OF THRONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I don't like romance novels...Well...some scenes are worth skipping to;)

    But for an actual good read and plot, I stick to fantasy and sci fi

    Books such as 50 Shades of Grey should be a must read requirement for all men! Just sayin' ... Woot! Woot! :drinker:

    Someone looking to commit career suicide?

    I prefer victorian erotica. I had some 50 shades read to me, and it's a little too tame for my tastes.

    Have my wife reading Fifty Shades.
    Told her I expect a full ORAL report.
    And completed homework assignments.

    Did you start an account just so you could say that without getting a strike?? :laugh:

    I've read some Nicholas Sparks stuff in the past, but that's as close as I've gotten, and nothing like that in a long time.

    I once saw some lady in the seat in front of me at a Cubs game reading 50 Shades. About as close as I've gotten to them.

    Agreed...I have read the first book but can't say it was enjoyable..but it was a gift so felt a bit obligated so when they asked about certian parts I could answer.

    It is really pathetic excuse of a book and does a dis-service to any woman who reads it that is impressionable enough to think all young 20 something woman are like that...ick

    Keanu can do Shakespeare and do it well. That means he has a brain. He would not take this role!

    I think the guy who played Julia Roberts' hisband in Sleeping With the Enemy should play Grey. He already has the part down, after all.

    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.

    Ditto.

    Double ditto

    Yeah; “50 Shades” is a total waste of time.

    At a baseball game?!

    Geeze. Probably had ketchup on her hot dog too.

    Don't take the book word for word so seriously! Grey is a great character. Flawed and beautiful.

    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:

    A.N. Roquelaire

    not that I would know anything about stuff like that

    You can find them under Anne Rice's name, too.

    I tried the first one. It was a bit too much for me! But at least it wasn't a 10-year-old girl's romantic fantasy written at about the level a 5-year-old would write.

    50 shades is porn with a story behind it. Men dont have time for the story, we just like the good scenes.
