50 Shades of WHAT

Let's talk about this ridiculous book:

I'm not ashamed to say I read it. Maybe a little. But I just wanted to know what everyone was freaking out about. I'm sure most people in the world have heard of it and know what it's about so I won't get into the details too much. But basically a nerdy college girl (Anastasia) who has never had a date and/or boyfriend meets a billionaire (Christian Grey) and acts super awkward and shy around him, and that somehow causes him to be completely infatuated with her.

So of course she goes right along with it and doesn't ask questions. He buys her cars and computers, what's not to love? That is, until she learns what a FREAK he is. He's a big weirdo with contracts for her to sign, a sex room in his house, and strict rules for how he wants her to live her life. And she just does it! WTF. He also treats her like she's his child, which I found extremely annoying.

Probably 90% of the book is a sex scene. There were definitely some gross parts that were too inappropriate and weird even for a big pervert like myself, but for the most part I didn't find it THAT shocking. I read the first maybe 100 pages and put it down for a couple of weeks because it was weirding me out and pissing me off. But then I got curious again and read the rest. I've heard people say it helps spice things up in their relationship? Whatever blows your skirt up, kids.

Apparently, it is also being made into a movie. So that will be awkward.

I recommend you read it just to know what the fuss is about. It's not a well written book, but I don't think anyone expected it to end up being a classic piece of literature, right? So read it. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. Just maybe order it off of Amazon so you don't have to face anyone while you're buying it. And don't read it in public places. And maybe don't recommend it to someone like I don't know, your mother-in-law, or she might lose all respect for you. I also may or may not have already bought the 2nd book in the series.

Laters, baby.
