What am I doing here? I must have gotten lost on my way to the park. Excuse me ladies, there is hard literature to be read. Plebeians.

This is weird. I went to chapters today to buy a few books and I passed by a few shelves with Fifty Shades of Grey on them. For some reason it was the one that stuck out to me.

I didn't buy it or pick it up, but it's odd that I see this now.

What is it about? Opinions from people who read it?

>> No.2768126

I doesn't bother me that chicks read bodice-rippers with Fabio pirates on the covers, so I don't reall care that they read 50 Shades of Grey. Same difference.

Someone pretty much said that to me once, except with Hunger Games instead of Fifty Shades.

I've never heard of that book, is it an American author? I'm not familiar with literature from your country but if you share me yours I would read it, we could go drink a bottle of wine every each other chapter and talk about it, when I finish reading it and knowing you, I could give you my insight of your literature and culture.

Women read terrible sex fiction, men watch online porn. If they have a go for not reading it, ask them why they watch "the Notebook" but wont watch a filthy porno. Same medium, same difference. In the end bitches be crazy.

>> No.2768339

>>2768238
believe me if either The Notebook had more explicit sexual content or online porn was of the same level of craft as The Notebook I'm sure there would be a much more equal viewing of either.
Otherwise the two things are very different.

That guy chose a bad example. A good example would be 99% of the "romance" fiction women read which accounts for as much as half of all the books sold.

Norm MacDonald once famously described it as Spinster Porn.

As Schopenhauer said: "Great minds appeal to other great minds". I believe the opposite is true as well.

“Before I know it, he’s got both of my hands in his viselike grip above my head, and he’s pinning me to the wall using his lips … His other hand grabs my hair and yanks down, bringing my face up, and his lips are on mine … My tongue tentatively strokes his and joins his in a slow, erotic dance … His erection is against my belly.” (Page 78)

A parody in 10 days makes some guy a massive book deal. Incredible.

>> No.2768596

Okay, so this girl signs a contract with this billionaire that says she has to be his slave.
Said contract includes a non-disclosure agreement, because he has a massive boner for BDSM.
And the reason he has a boner for BDSM is because he was abused as a chid.
So this bitch, using the same logic I last encountered in highschool freshmen, thinks "Oh, I can change him, unlike the other women he's had."

Is this about right?

I'm not trying to troll, but nowadays whenever I come to /lit/ I feel like I'm on /b/ or /v/, just with a topic of literature.

This board has really lost its way in the past year.

I know that feel. Half of the threads here make /lit/ just live a themed /b/.
