50 Shades of Perv

I haven't read 50 Shades of Grey. I'm not entirely sure I will. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about some good erotica reading material. After reading Hunger Games I thought about writing some additional scenes and sending them to the author thinking they could sell the G rated version to teens and the X rated version to adults. Really, it is a brilliant idea that earns you twice as much money. If I ever write a book, I should do that. Although I'm not sure I'm capable of doing anything G rated.

When something is a big hit and I haven't gotten on the train from the beginning I always think I will just let it pass me by. At one point I claimed I would not read the Twilight books and then eventually did and loved them. I said I wouldn't read the Hunger Games book and of course did. I think the only thing I've stuck with to this day is that I've still never watched one minute of Lost. (Cut to me watching it tonight.)

As I understand it, 50 Shades of Grey is super kinky - some dude in his 50's meets a girl in her early 20's. She's a virgin and he has a secret sex room. He takes her virginity and tries out all his kinky ideas on her. Maybe they're in love. I haven't heard the word "love" mentioned from friends that have read it.

This series of books reminds me of V.C. Andrews (Flowers in the Attic). When I was in grade school my girlfriends and I would find the dirty parts in the V.C. Andrews books and read the section over each other's shoulders giggling thinking it was all very taboo. V.C. Andrews had some incest in her books so she may have a leg up on 50 Shades of Grey. If the couple in 50 Shades of Grey are father/daughter, please someone let me know immediately because then I definitely don't ever want to read it. Kissing cousins is one thing, but that's a whole other Alabama craziness that I'm not ready for. A girl has to have her limits.

Even me.
