  • 50 Shades of Grey

    My wife told me that I should go get the book “50 Shades of Grey” so we could read it together.

    I am pretty sure the book is about interior decorating so this will be perfect in that it will give us ideas of what we can do in our new house when we buy it.

    I will review the book for you and let you know what we tried out.

    Has anyone else read 50 Shades of Grey?

  • Unfortunately.  

  • Nope. Don’t want to. My real life is nearly more than I can handle, I don’t need to supplement. 

  • Here’s your 50 Shades of Gray http://i.imgur.com/wASRr.png

  • Nope. =3 

  • @TakingxOverxMe - buahahahahaha… Did you see the one review about it? You’d laugh your head off. I posted it sometime ago (a week ago maybe?) It says “Lord Fisterbottom” or something

  • You might want to consider legal separation or divorce. 

  • I’m thinking about reading it…but then I’m also think of having myself dragged over 10 miles of glass behind a leaky waste removal tanker.   I’ll let you know which I choose to do.  Deciding is quite the struggle, let me tell you.

  • People are still talking about this?

    I haven’t read it yet nor do I want to.

  • I read two of them. Waste of time.

  • Once I saw that the book was labelled ‘Mommyporn’, I wasn’t interested.

  • Maybe when it’s cheaper on Kindle, not sure. I don’t want to spend $10 on a possibly cruddy e-book.

  • Naw, I don’t have any painting projects coming up.  I guess I’ll swing by Home Depot to get it when such an occasion arises.

  • I wanna read it, but I don’t like the idea of reading something like that, that my own friends have read too. It’s like, a little too close for me lol

  • I’m not interested in reading it, but I am pretty sure it is not about interior design.  May I suggest Better Homes and Gardens Magazine?

  • Do it. I want to see what provocative questions you come up with after your brain has turned to mush.

  • Please don’t read it.  It’s like a Cosmo article on steroids.

  • I’ve read the PG 13 version- Twilight.

  • I’m sure it will give you plenty of ideas of what you and your wife can try out. Haha 

  • ha ha, that picture is so worth a REC! 

  • Have not read it… yet.

    But who am I kidding? I’m certainly curious, now. lol

  • No. I don’t like books with big words. 

  • So I don’t know why others don’t seem to like it…it helped me open up my sex life with my Fiance! If I found a part that I wanted to hint to him, he would actually listen :) It was really cute! I like the books, I thought they were eye opening to say the least.

  • I’ve heard so much about that damn book that it makes me want to not read it. Apart from the fact that it’s just a porn book. 

    I have my guy for all the porn/sexual enjoyment/mental pleasure I want. :P

  • No. I’ve heard that it’s poorly written and not a subject I read about anyway. Let’s face it, gray is a pretty boring color, no matter what shade it is.

  • No just don”t have the time.

  • I haven’t read it and won’t.

  • I bought the book MONTHS ago and I haven’t even fished book one yet.  It was just

    too

    boring for me.  Wasn’t worth all the credit everyone was buzzing about.  If you want to waste your money and time, feel free to purchase it.

  • I loved the books. They aren’t the best written ever, but, they let you escape reality. Sometimes you are like wtf, there’s no way! Other times, you are just like ok! Don’t go in it looking for a well researched book and you will enjoy it! (I think! lol)

  • I read the Fifty Shades trilogy. It’s not written particularly well and the trite situations are laughable. That being said, I admit I kind of enjoyed the books because it was pure escapism and not to be taken seriously. I’m intrigued, though, by the actor/actress who will be playing Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. I wonder how their relationship will transfer onscreen. 

  • No.  And I have no plan to.

  • Wow…. i wish i could read it just once more but then the words are so fresh in my mind… too much porn i tell ya… but all good for those who love it.. i included…..I can save whoever wishes with a soft copy..

  • she sort of twisted the tv show’s title, Grey’s Anatomy, into a porn version. I can’t stand names with colors as last names. Dr.Meredith Grey, Christian Grey, Vanna White, James Brown, Jack Black, Al Green, and there’s more but the exception is Charlie Brown, because he’s an adorable comic character, not some slut like the Grey characters are.

  • I spent money on this and it wasnt worth it at all!

  • Yes, I’m pretty sure it is a Dummies for Interior Decorating book. 

  • LOL on the “Beauty and the Beast” MEME haha

  • Yes, two props for Belle & Gaston meme

  • seems like a waste of time to read it and honestly i’ve heard not so good reviews (plus it’s twilight fanfic). it’s porn for the women folk (and i guess some men) and i don’t like porn so obviously i won’t read it haha. besides, my love life doesn’t need spicing up nor does it need any help. 

  • loved the books! read all 3 in a weekend. 

  • I have. Funnily I don’t read it to get any ideas, I just like to read a happy ending.

  • @StupidSystemus - You’re such an overachiever. That is WAY more than 50 shades! ;)

  • 50 Shades of Gary is much better

  • First, I couldn’t believe this book was gaining so much popularity. If the TV show The Chew didn’t promote it, I don’t think I would’ve ever picked it up to read. Nothing like seeingMario Batali reading lines from it to make you want to see what’s so great about it. It’s written like juvenile language S&M porn. After reading 65% of the first book, I learned it originally was some fan fiction written and posted on some forum. I read it completely but can’t stomach reading the other 2 books. 

  • I’m thinking if you can’t say “vagina” without flinching, probably writing BDSM erotica is not your true calling.

  • Just you, her, and your decorating equipment. Sounds like a plan.

  • I haven’t read it

    I read the book about habits and it was interesting -it’s on the 10 best seller list.

  • Pretty sure everyone i know except myself has read the books. All i ever hear is “its really good”

  • It seems to be a girly romance book with ropes and semen.

  • I’ve read other romance novels and this is soft core porn IMO. I’d expected more S&M bondage and elaborate sex scenes drawn out more in detail, but it seems like they come as soon as they start because they barely touch on eachother and then end scene. I’m disappointed that they dont focus on the main reason for the book…. I’ve read better.

  • I got over half way through book two and just stopped…

  • This is one of your funnier posts  - especially the responses  -a real classic.

    BTW the Marquis de Sade wrote the definitive work on the subject some time ago

  • I absolutely loved the movie “9 1/2 Weeks” all those years ago – it was raunchy and risque but also good fun, plus had that awesome scene where Kim Basinger strips off for Mickey Rooney to the tune of Joe Cocker’s “You Can Leave Your Hat On”. Just awesome!
    But everything I’ve heard or read about 50 Shades makes it sound like complete trash, so no, I haven’t read it nor am I going to.
    *Logs into the library website to see if they have “9 1/2 Weeks” in stock to borrow. :) *

  • Btw – have you SEEN the state of Mickey Rooney lately?? WTF happened to him??!!

  • i read one section.. its like a typical sat night at our house. i think its funny people find it shocking. i mean when my husband told me he want to tie me up and pleasure me for hours… who am i to say no!

  • I am sorry but that book belongs in the 9th circle of hell it is so pitiful I can find better reads on fanfiction and the author can be 12 never again

  • For the longest time I had no clue WTF this book was. Then I found out it was some… porno or something but also….. It was a fanfiction story for Twilight but changed it a bit or whatever and published it…. Those 2 things will make me not want to read it… At all, plus… I read good books….

  • I let my sister borrow my kindle and she downloaded it, so I guess I’m going to read it.  The reviews weren’t really glowing.  But for a first book, she sure got a lot of press!

  • I’ve read quotes from it and honestly that’s more than enough. “The elevator whisks me up at terminal velocity” – really? No. Let’s not get started on the sex-related quotes.

  • No, but I am in a fantasy leagur with a team called “Fifty Shades of Green Bay”.

  • “Women are too classy to watch porn, so they read it instead” – Michael on 50 Shades of Grey. 

  • I might take a sneak peek. But I really don’t care.

  • Don’t defile yourself. 

  • DON’T DO IT!!! CAVE TO THE PEER PRESSURE

    Cave

  • I happen to thoroughly enjoy the book; I’ve heard the next 2 books after that are pretty good. 

  • So i heard sooo much about the book…but what is the point of the book?!?

  • Real creative post.  Just take what’s trending and write about it.
    Such pandering.

  • Grey can be  a very good color to decorate in….

  • Hey guys I’m new to this website but I’m not new to trolling. This guy is a troll.

  • omg it’s so popular here in england! it’s supposed to be the reason there are going to be more babies next year! it’s supposed to have gotten all the UK ladies into bed with their men! lol that’s why i plan to get it too! so gotta get it soon. lol good luck!!!

  • Too many books, not enough time.  I have 3 books started already.  Don’t think I will be adding another anytime soon especially since I have heard such negative comments about the book.  But then, those comments do make me curious.  Can I juggle 4?

  • i read the whole series and the label “porn” is inaccurate. While it may be bordering on softcore the books never say penis or vagina (roughly what i remember from them) those parts are code named “my sex”,”his sex”, “and things like “in me” or “entered” for penetration. I feel that these book ARE NOT MEANT FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 but are NOT straight up porn, your own mind fills in the parts and gives you the ability to see what the author means. The major thing is the BDSM (if you dont know what it means google it) that make people think “OH! NO ITS PORN” but that life style is about power exchange and trusting one another. I felt the they were good books and because of my own background in BDSM i could understand it alot better, then i think most “vanilla” people can. I cant stress it enough though that tweens, teens, and anyone under 18 shouldnt get access to these books cause with out proper knowledge some of the scenes depicted, it can be dangerous if improperly done in real life. Just for the record too i am NOT gay, im just into BDSM to further my ability to be a better lover to my SO.

  • i thought it was pretty unrealistic and not overly imaginitive. the porn-ish aspects, kinda like watching the playboy channel instead of a real porno, it hints at it, but you never really get there ;P

  • I can only see in red. I’ve heard that there’s a translation in the works; fifty shades of magenta. I’ll probably wait for that to come out.

  • @HerCarelessWhispers - lmao  pg13 version  *laughing*

  • Not read it – probably won’t read it either – subject matter not of an interest
