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

    That almost makes me want to read it.

    Blech, harlequins and romance novels. Give me a good action/adventure fantasy or western, or even better a murder mystery plskthx.
    If I want porn, I'll watch porn. Don't have it get in the way of/slow down a good plot.

    Agreed. Get the job done. I hardly have to seduce myself.

    I've read those and many more. I enjoy reading and when I was younger was reading stuff from literotica.com but now I just read whatever. I'm currently reading the third book of the crossfire series. I read the 50 shades stuff and at times it was boring but overall I actually thought it was an ok introductory book.

    Gabriels Inferno/Rapture is another series off the top of my head. I dunno there's a bunch I typically will start a book and won't sleep/eat/etc until it's done unless it's just a massive book.

    I may get made fun of but I just say I'm doing research lol

    I read damn near any book within my reach. I have a fairly vivid imagination so smut is like porn to me except prolly better because I have a dirty mind.

    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

    Never have I. I wondered about the 50- shades when I was sitting at a bus stop when a girl walking down the street reading the book wandered into the bus stop, and practically sat on my lap despite the fact that I was the only other person in the place on an 8 foot bench. Someone tried to tell her she was going to lose her wallet from her bag, and she was oblivious.

    I wondered what could be so all engulfing that this girl would be so sucked in.

    I never did read it though.

    I'm afraid I just don't read much fiction in general.

    After spending so much time in school being forced to dig for deep, hidden meanings in the books I read, I can put down a fiction book at any time.

    It's non-fiction, especially personal accounts, that tend to make up the books I grab onto nd don't want to put down. There's plenty of drama in real life without the contrived feeling. Even the romantic elements tend to feel more compelling than anything made up by an author.

    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
