Okay...Liv mentioned that you all already discussed Fifty Shades of Grey already on the board...I tried to search for it, but couldn't find it. Did TK gobble it up?
I started reading the triolgy on Tuesday and I am already on the last book.
Courtesy of the New York Times:
“Fifty Shades of Grey” and the two other titles in the series were written by a British author named E L James, a former television executive who began the trilogy by posting fan fiction online. The books, which were released in the last year, center on the lives (and affection for whips, chains and handcuffs) of Christian Grey, a rich, handsome tycoon, and Anastasia Steele, an innocent college student, who enter into a dominant-submissive relationship. The narrative is built on the purple prose typical of pulp novels, with lines like, “My inner goddess is doing the dance of the seven veils.”
Some Thoughts:
1. I WANT an inner gooddess.
2. How do you feel about this book?
3. Have you read it? Are you going to read it?
4. Do you believe it exploits women?
5. How in the world are they going to make a movie of this thing?
