Ugh.
Still .. the titillating bits sound interesting .. though of course,(with my tongue firmly stuck in prudish cheek) ... I would naturally find unadulterated raunchy filth highly offensive.
The reason I'm asking is the shop up the road from me ... TheWorks ... is selling the trilogy in a boxed set for £17 and I would hate for them to sell out quicker than you can read and review the thing for me.

Re: 50 shades anyone??
I find the hype all rather entertaining, so don't need to read the books
But seriously, I'm amazed at the degree of interest in what is purported to be an appallingly written story with repetitive sexual scenarios. I think there has been some remarkably clever marketing going on here, but no, I won't be reading them.

I'm incredibly tempted myself but I'd feel a bit pervy wandering into the library asking for the book.Do you suppose the staff there would look at me funny . I think I know how guys must feel surreptitiously reaching for the magazines on the top shelf.

Re: 50 shades anyone??
I'm reading this on the PC as it was sent to me on a PDF file. Before anyone asks, no, that's not the reason why I've been away from the forum for a while Incidentally, did anyone watch the programme about this subject on Channel 4Seven tonight? Was quite interesting to hear peoples' different views and, that the sales of whips, etc. etc. have rocketed
Personally, I think I'll stick with my feather duster
