I'm with you weeble - I got totally creeped out when a FB friend announced that she had "Mr Grey on her bedside cabinet and was going to see what everyone was talking about" - (plus she's 8 months pregnant and I was worried she'd go into premature labour lol!!)
As far as I'm concerned if half the men you knew announced (on FB or where ever) that they were going to bed with the latest edition of *whatever porn you wish to mention* - there would be outrage!! But it's totally ok cos it's only "mummy porn"
I would rather not thinking of them jerking off, even if that makes me a jerk.
I haven't read any (I didn't know there was more than one) and probably won't get around to it either
It's really hard to believe it's written by a woman, not just because of the above. It's what some men think that women find a turn on, whereas it's actually about as sexy as erotic as a cervical smear.
I'm not, haven't read the Da Vinci Code either
Its really surprising to read so many negative views... everything else I've read in the media and on facebook (all from women!) have all been overwhelmingly positive! Apparently its not the best written literature, but just good fun..? Hmm.. the views here seem to contradict popular opinion....
I tend to avoid any book that is hyped up. The few hyped books I have read have been a huge disappointment so I expect this one is too. I won't be reading it unless some misguided relative buys it for me and I have nothing else to read. which is what happened with the Dan Brown.
I haven't read it but lots of the women I work with have. They seem rather addicted to it as well. However, I wonder if facebook had been around when Sex & The City showed the rabbit for the first time and "everyone" went out and bought one, whether all my friends would have been posting, "Going to bed with my rabbit" as opposed to, "Going to bed with Mr Gray"...as far as I can tell, it's amounting to the same thing
However, I think there is much better written erotic fiction out there (if that's your thing), so I shall be steering clear - partly because I also tend not to like things that everyone else hypes up. I strongly suspect that the sales are high for the same reason Mills & Boon book sales have gone through the roof - you can have them on your Kindle and no-one knows what you're reading...
I am not and have no intention of reading it. I find it weird that the women I work with seem to think it is almost something to boast about - making out they are reading porn. I have no idea how erotic it is or isn't and really have no interest in what is essentially a badly written love story. I hate 'chic lit' anyway
People should just read what they want, make their own choices.
And buy your own copy stop reading over people's shoulders on public transport
Baby boom next year maybe..?

Pinched from an old school friend's status, and just to put in context we both come from Stockport:
Stockport's answer to Mr Grey: "50 shades of Chav."
As he approached with those pasty white arms hanging out of his Gola vest, his smile told me it was benefit day and I knew my vel...our tracksuit would be hanging off the lamp shade tonight." "It was Dwayne's birthday. I was preparing his special tea of Findus Crispy Pancakes and Pot Noodle. I would let him take me any way he wanted tonigh...t. His favourite position was what he c...alled The Dogs of War. Where he took me from behind and played Call of Duty at the same time." "Our 6 week anniversary was approaching. This would be my longest relationship without becoming pregnant. I thought of this as he lay on top of me making love. His skinny arms straddled my head like breadsticks either side of an orange. As I rubbed his whiter than white back I imagined every mole I felt was spelling out Braille for I love you" "As I stood in line at the Job Centre thinking of reasons I couldn't work, a sweet smell drifted past my pig like nostrils. It was a mixture of weed, B.O and Lynx Africa. I turned around and there was Dwayne. Our eyes met and he was soon lifting me onto the wheelie bins behind the Iceland. He had tied up his Staffy to block the ally way so we wouldn't be disturbed. There was a tramp watching but it just added to the mystery. I knew it was love and my life would never be the same." "My mum had told me to leave Dwayne many times due to the violence but I knew he loved me as he always took his rings off before he hit me. Tonight though he was in a foul mood, I had ****** his tea up after failing to de-frost his prawn ring I had nicked from farm foods. He picked up the power lead from my kids mega drive and whipped it across my doughy ****. It stung but I liked it. I shouted again again so he carried on. I thought my shell suit would rip into a million pieces. As I looked over my shoulder I saw his Weetabix toothed smile. He even had a semi on which rare as the crack normally played havoc with his erections.
Honestly girls...we are smarter than this!! Just admit you want to read Mills and Boons with a bit of spanking!! *rolls eyes!!*
Sister in-law talked of nothing else last week-end. Mr Grey, Mr Grey & Mr Grey...Yawn...She even went out & bought a copy for me. Its still sitting on the book shelf. Not opened or read & most likely it'll stay that way.
Now if it was Ms grey and 50 shades of her, I might be slightly more interested...
But then , why read when you can actually partake? Suppose it is the reading for me though, been in a relationship for 8 years and it's not my birthday.

Absolutely no intention of reading it
There was a time when a book called '50 shades of grey' would have been a biography of John Major.
I have just finished book two. I was totally caught off guard when I started book one, I had no idea there were such graphic sex scenes throughout. Reading it I cannot help thinking the author is writing from her own experience, if not she must have read a lot of erotic material. But I am starting to get a little bit bored with all the sex scenes, although the story is developing in other ways now too. Christian Grey seems to be a very complex and volatile character.
Has anyone read the scarecrow porn book, 50 Blades Of Hay? Lol.
"...Our eyes met and he was soon lifting me onto the wheelie bins behind the Iceland..."
Have we accidentally stumbled upon Icelands target market? It's right next door to the Jobcentre in Swansea too....!
(Although I've never checked out the wheelie bins)...
