My mother wants to buy 50 schades of grey. "I want the sex book", she said.
What should I tell her? I need good reasons why she should read something else.

>doesn't know how to justify it

Are you really avoiding a book for the sole reason that everyone says it isn't good? This sounds like an attempt to act like a cultured individual with taste.

You're overreaching yourself.

After all the hate it got from this board, I thought there would be a better book to recommend to her.

You didn't ask for that. You asked how to explain to your mom that she shouldn't read a book she wants to read, without giving any reasons of your own.

>> No.3092972

just let her read the book and make her own mind up man, why do you care if she reads it? she might even enjoy it

>> No.3092979

Just buy her a better book with sex in it, instead.
If her statement was "I want that sex book" then buy her a sex book.

He's clearly just uncomfortable with the idea of his mother's sexuality, due to a repressed Oedipal complex.

She wants it because it's popular. I said just because it's popular, it doesn't have to be good.
Could you give me some recommendations? I don't really know anything about sex books. The only sex book I read was 120 days of Sodom and I don't think she'd like it.

Give her a duplicate of Jonathon Franzen's

novel The Corrections.

This, just tell her it was written by a sultry Frenchman.

You could actually try The Repentance of Lorraine—I haven't read it but it's by Andrei Codrescu, who works for NPR, and it's supposed to be fairly witty.
