My wife has it. She handed it to me and said "pick any page, read it - see? It's just porn!" She stopped reading it though as she reckons there are only so many ways you can word sex and it got boring very quickly. She seems to be in the minority though as the book is huge.

This is what I don't get? Why is it so popular? It's not even well written porn. It reads like a teenager's diary, one who had discovered the thesaurus.

Why is it ok for women to read 50 Shades of Grey but watching porn is frowned upon?

I read the first few chapters so I could pretend I knew what it was about to a co-worker who's taken it on holiday to read.

I didn't even get as far as the "juicy" bits! Maybe 2 or 3 chapters?

It seemed to go in circles:
"He's really dreamy"
"Ooh, why am I blushing?"
"oh but he is really dreamy"
"I'm blushing again"

Enough about me Dave.

It's the 'inner goddess' that had me in stitches. I don't think the real porn is until chapter 7ish. I think the reasoning is because there's a story as it were, it's not porn it'll never be as crude as a film because it has her inner thoughts all the way through, perhaps if a porn film had a woman's voice talking over all the good bits these women might watch it lol. I wonder how many of them will be pre-booking their film tickets for this?

My wife is half way through the first book, says it's not that well written but loves it!!
Easy to read that's one of the reasons its so popular.

Harry Potter is easy to read.

Plenty of magic wand waving in that.

I bet I can think of other ways of describing it. Probably get banned for it too.

That bloody book is what all the girls think is the reason I'm learning the Adagio from Concerto No 3 in D Minor.

It's not but they won't believe me. I only found out about it because the comments thread for the video got inundated with omgomgchristian posts.
