50 shades of grey by E.L. James.... [View all]

Last edited Fri May 4, 2012, 10:31 AM - Edit history (2)

anyone read it? Is anyone reading it?

I really don't like romance. I don't mind it as a second/third storyline, but not as the main plot. And it's my understanding that this is erotic romance--which is something I don't read--except for Laurell K Hamilton..she didn't start out like that and now it's like crack to me. I have to read the next Anita Blake adventure--it's a sickness.

But people are going crazy over this. Anyone?
