Anyone reading/read 50 Shades of Gray?
A bunch of friends recommended it after my comedown from The Hunger Games.
Um, I feel like I am reading soft core porn. Is the whole series like this or is there an actual plot?

Okay, glad I am not crazy. I don't the book is horrible but I am trying to get what the hype is about. Literally over 10 people have recommended this series to me.

I agree. I am almost done with book 2 but it puts me to sleep every time I open it so I can't seem to finish. I will not be purchasing the 3rd one. I may perhaps read it when it is able to be loaned to my kindle.
Really? I didn't find anything hot about it. I've truly ever been less turned on in my life. I'm more turned on this very second then I was during the time I spend on the first book.

My favorite part was when she first say his *** and her response was "holy cow"
I stopped reading right there.
Ha! I must say, it is making me annoyed when she refers to her vagina as her "sex".

I also really like how she gets off in 22 seconds, even though she's never been with a guy or had an orgasm before.
And the BDSM elements are super tame/lame. Like, the author went to wikipedia, got some vocabulary about pretty standard things and then ran with it.

I was also impressed how he could be ready for sex every 3 minutes. Maybe my BFs have been super lame but they need at least 10-15 minutes before they are ready to go again lol.

This.
There is something about Christian Grey. He reminds me of someone I know and have an odd relationship/interaction/I have no idea what you call it and I think that's part of why I'm drawn so much to the books.

No, hell no, I am not reading that crap.
It was FAN FICTION, then got published. That's when people on the internet write naughty stories about the characters in books they like.
I refuse to be part of this fad.

i'm going to take your advice and not read it.
I could kiss you! I feel like no one listens to me about this, and it makes me bonkers!!!!!

Well, GOZF, if you told me *before* I started reading it, I would have listened to you as well!

I'm sorry I didn't know. I would have saved you.

How did everyone get the book? I've tried to buy it and everywhere is sold out. Did you buy it online? Anyone have a copy they're done with and would be willing to sell?
Listen to me, Turtle. You don't want to read this. I promise you.
