Am I the only one who hasn't read 50 Shades?

It sounds dumb, although I did enjoy the sookie stackhouse series.
Yes! I only have the first book but I have followed True Blood.
As for the 50 shades books, I have not read them, nor do I have a desire to. Normally when something hits it so big, I'm curious enough to look into it...but I read several reviews saying how poorly it was written, like an un-edited, self-published e-book. Not really into reading about subs/doms, either, so why bother?0 -
I haven't read the book yet. Though, I might considering I have a co-worker reading it and she is hooked (she hates reading too!)0
-
why read about it when you can actually live it?0

I'm resisting reading it. If I read an erotic book, then after a few pages, I get distracted, and then I don't want to read anymore. Or I skip forward to the good parts, and the story is lost on me. I will see the movie if Ian Somerhalder or Ryan Gosling is Christian Grey, though.0

From what I've heard, they wouldn't appeal to me. If I'm going to spend my time reading a book, I would rather it be intellectually stimulating. I get plenty of the other kind of stimulation.
Amen to that!0 -
I've never read 50 Shades. Don't really plan to.0
-
Literally and without question the absolute WORST book I've ever read. Don't bother with it, it was *kitten*.
Ummm Try the Sleeping Beauty Triliogy by Anne Rice. Ok, I'll admit Im kinky, but not that far....0 -
Not into anything that smacks cult reading, like you have to read it cause Oprah or someone like that says you should. I like fantasy and murder mystery genres better although from what I have heard 50 shades is more of a fantasy! :smooched:0

I don't read ... I bend over.0

You are NOT the only one.:happy:0

You can find better erotica for free online. As for the Twilight connection, she totally ripped it off.
Agreed! literotica.com, I go there often, and have been known to write some under a fake name that have (not to toot my own horn) become quite popular :blushing:0 -
Haven't read it. Not interested in it either.0
-
HAHAHA!! I haven't read it either, but had a lunch date with a friend just yesterday and she INSISTED that I read them! Said they were ten times better than Twilight series and she's HARD CORE Twilight. So, I'll give 'em a read...eventually!0
-
I have read them. They are poorly written and predictable. I enjoy a good smut book and while they did have some steamy sexy scenes the entertainment value was low. Won't read again.0
-
Absolutely no interest. Ann Rice had a really sexual trillogy, can't remember the name... that turned me of to the smut fictiin.0
-
ive never read it either, haha.0
-
awful. I suffered through the first half and decided it was enough. I'm not a prude by any means but it was just terribly written and hopelessly predictable. And stupid.
I couldn't even GIVE the book away. I tossed it in the trash 2 weeks ago. Never in my life have I thrown a book away...0 -
I haven't read it either, not much of a fan of romance or the whole erotic fiction stuff. When I heard that it was based on crummy Twilight fan-fiction, any desire that I might have had to read it (not that I had any) was squashed.0
-
I haven't read it............. yet!!! IAll 3 are at side of my bed ready though! Catching up on a bit of Twilight first and then the recent Sophie Kinsella number! lol0
