/lit/ - Literature

"But it's badly written!", I hear you cry. Um, hello? It's PORN. Whilst there is some pornography out there written with a deft stylistic hand – from Anais Nin and Henry Miller to Anne Rice's luscious, filthy Sleeping Beauty series – that's hardly the point, even if you don't buy Oglaf author Trudy Cooper's adage that "erotica just means porn that works for me." A dildo painted with an intricate lubricant-insoluble motif may look delightful, but a plain old rubber shocker gets the job done just as well. This book is porn. It is for wanking to. Pornography made for men is rarely judged on its artistic merits – the average 20-minute RedTube clip has hundreds of thousands of views and practically nobody leaves comments complaining that the lighting is garish, that the pounding cheese music is weird and unsettling"

Is this book proof that women arent sentient/human beings?

Are you female?

It's just about BDSM. What's the deal?

Right now, your mom is masturbating to a dirty book about a guy who duct tapes a young girl to a chair, blindfolds her, gags her, beats the shit out of her, then pulls a tampon out of her cooch and fucks her period pussy before spraying hot, salty jizz all over her face. With his huge cock. His huge, huge cock. So huge that she is scared of it, your mom in character as this 21 year old girl. The girl whom she is pretending to be while she is flicking her middle-aged bean is younger than you. She is younger than your younger sister. She is a mere four years older than you were when your mom would have been horrified to find a pack of purloined Virginia Slims crumpled up in your Levis when she was doing your laundry.

Right now your mom is pretending to be a girl who literally just turned old enough to drink, who meets a notorious but reclusive billionaire “industrialist” who made huge sums of money in the way that women think “industrialists” make money, which is: they don’t know, so he just owns a bunch of factories where things are made by hand right here in the good old U S of A and a bunch of farms where man and beast alike are treated ethically and humanely. When asked about his massive hoard of non-inherited money bootstrapped from nothing with the sweat of his brow the man, who is under thirty, speaks of how he “knows people” and the key is his forty thousand employees, all of whom he has hand-selected and pays what they’re worth and listens to their ideas and etc., even though his army of hot young blonde secretaries are terrified of him. The girl had to interview him for the school paper when her cub journalist roommate got sick, and then he tracked her down and made the girl his fuckslave.

Why does the hype of this trilogy/series piss me off so badly?

Am I wrong that it's for housewives that discover they indeed love sex too, but always condemned their husbands watching porn?

Is the success of this book a sign of the degeneration of our morals?

Why is this so popular?

What do you think /lit/? What is this about?

Planning to read this on some coffee shop to get me some chicks!

A breath taking book into what it means to be human, beyond words.

Everyone's reading this, It's a best seller, It's S&M, It's just abuse, It's written poorly.

Well I'm going to download it and see what it's all about, Wish me luck.

Not another 50 Shades of Grey.

Today I was thinking about this book and how all erotic, romantic books get directly underrated. We all agree that romantic-erotic or love novels are the worst of all since they have no literary quality, just cheap sex. So I was asking myself, is there one that is actually good? Something that excites you and that also has a certain literary quality, something that gets you a boner without being rubbish?

Fifty Shades of Grey

is it worth my time?

Will somebody please explain this for me?

It's erotic fanfiction? Is this a joke? Why's it so popular? Is it the new Twilight? Why do I keep hearing about it recently?

So apparently talent and originality aren't requisites for becoming a rich-as-fuck author

What's the deal with this book? Why is it so popular? My aunt, mother, and grandmother wont shut up about it but none of them have even read it.

Looking it up it seems to just be erotica, but isn't that a dime a dozen? Why is this one more popular than every other written porno out there?

Excellent contemporary fiction that's less than 300 pages?

Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists in the U.S., the U.K., and around the world.[1][2] The series has sold around ten million copies worldwide, with book rights having been sold in 37 countries.[3]

But I heard it was shit.

Why is this such a hit?

Is it really that great?
